Ukraine badge

Just spotted this interesting badge in the 'Daily Telegraph' worn by what appears to be a colonel in the Coldstream Guards, judging from his pips. The RM colonel is wearing SBS para wings.

QRH TRF?

Is the TRF with the cipher on it something to do with the Queen's Royal Hussars?

I'm still getting the same message everyday, and have done for about three days now. Now that I know why it makes sense. Just one extra click, that's all. Not really a big deal.
