Post WW2 - UNRRA United Nations Relief & Rehabilitation Agency Embroidered Cloth Shoulder Title

A woven example, removed from uniform. Some bleeding of the red on to the white lettering giving it an slight pink twinge, probably from washing the tunic. In poor condition overall and reflected in price.

The United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) was an international relief agency, largely dominated by the United States but representing 44 nations. Founded in 1943, it became part of the United Nations in 1945, and it largely shut down operations in 1947. Its purpose was to "plan, co-ordinate, administer or arrange for the administration of measures for the relief of victims of war in any area under the control of any of the United Nations through the provision of food, fuel, clothing, shelter and other basic necessities, medical and other essential services".
