Scots Guards
Just a little factual info to add to your deliberations:
05.02.81. At the 249th Meeting of the Army Dress Committee, the Committee were informed that Officers of the Scots Guards had declined to accept the in-service cap and beret badge because it was not made of Sterling Silver. The Secretary was asked to write to the Regt asking them to reconsider the acceptability of the silver plated cap and beret badge.
This refers to the change in provision of Officer's badges, where these items were supplied to Officers by Ordnance upon repayment, instead of Officers purchasing their own from military tailors.
Stephen.
