Thomas, Many thanks - to my astonishment my sister has four of his books including the one I want to reread. Somewhere in Eric Newby's published works is a discussion he had with an early SAS soldier who claimed to have designed a beret badge (very complex design and quite unlike an SAS badge) and he was asking his boss's permission to have some made and wear them. As far as I recall Eric Newby's response was " I don't mind one way or the other" (or similar words). Does that ring a bell with you? Mike
