I think the bullion RASC officers badge was first worn on the Coloured Field Service Cap, and initially adapted for the beret by Airborne officers.

Hi Thomas

I didn't actually say I thought it was an "Airborne" badge, the picture was simply to demonstrate that bullion badges were worn during the war.

Also wouldn't there have been many more RASC Officers during the war years than in the period 1946-1952 to wear badges?
