Interesting.
I didn't realise that that circular "E" badge, for English speakers, was worn in the Far East, as well as in Africa.

Although I lived and worked in the same barracks as HQ HKMSC for over two years I never saw the E badge being worn. As a student at the MOD Chinese Language School I was relieved not to have to wear a C on my chest! Mike
