Genuine 1st Generation Queens Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment Beret Badge

This is the 1st Generation official issue badge made by the Regimental Silversmith in Gun Club Hill Barracks for the New Regiment on dated 5th April 2001... (From the Gurkha Transport Regiment to the Queen's Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment)... Less than 300 of this badge was ordered by the QM... The star and kukri blades are in Silver with the remainder in gilding-metal complete with slider...

The Queen's Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment (QOGLR) is the junior of the "Brigade of Gurkhas". Raised in 1958 in Malaya as the Gurkha Army Service Corps (GASC), it became the Gurkha Transport Regiment (GTR) in 1965, following the reorganization of the army's logistic services, and in 1992 it was granted the royal title of the Queen's Own Gurkha Transport Regiment (QOGTR). In 2001 its title was changed again to the Queen's Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment (QOGLR), reflecting the regiment's wider role in providing logistic support to the Field Army.
During their existence units of the regiment have been stationed in Malaya, Singapore, Brunei, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom and have served on operations in Malaya and Singapore, Brunei, Borneo, the Persian Gulf, Cyprus, Bosnia and Kosovo.
