As Simon already stated the laurel is being used as a spacer tantamount to the two ‘diamonds’ on the Second Somerset Militia WBC I posted, and I’d wouldn’t expect a cap badge scroll to be filled such diamonds by that same rationale.

It was neither a completely unusual policy, nor one without a clear rationale, but it was a short lived one. You’re like a record with the needle stuck and invariably rudely dismissive of other’s contributions unless they happen to tally with yours.

You need to wind your neck in mate as your getting right on my nerves and I am sure others too.

Trying to baffle us with bull**it constantly just doesnt wash.

Luke was merely commenting on my observations on the use of a Laurel Spray on WBC's, whats the problem with that?

One of those Artillery badges is fake by the way!

I think this thread has run it's course. Should any one actually find a genuine laurel wreath badge and not one of the March fakes then please open a new thread. An officer dated hallmark would be ideal.
