ASC badge- where worn
I am still unconvinced that this badge is a mash-up of others. Yes, the figure of Britannia may well have been that manufactured for use on officer's collar badges, but the Castle is nothing like that used by the Suffolk Regt on their cloth collars. I've attached a photo of various Suffolk badge FYI (Courtesy of C&T Auctions- Colin Churchill collection).
The next point is whether or not the East Anglian Regiments/ battalions wore coloured FS caps. I would be very surprised if they didn't as both the units preceding, and succeeding them wore them. If for some reason the East Anglian Regt did not wear a coloured FS cap what was worn in Undress? It certainly wasn't a beret, and a Coloured Forage cap would not have been appropriate for all occasions.
Stephen.
