Ram's head formation patch ID please

I'm probably not describing this one very well, so here's the pic:

Can anyone ID it?

That one, 1st Army Group Royal Artillery (Field) 1955-1961.

Thanks Marc, but I didn't realise they were still using slip-ons in the 1950s? Slightly disappointed I must admit, as it came with a number of patches from the 1944-45 Italy campaign.

Is this one post war as well?

If so, there is no need for them in my collection

5th AGRA (AA) 1950-1962.

There are people that will argue that the printed 1 AGRA is a WW2 badge. However I have not found any evidence of it being worn on uniform during that time. Most of the AGRA are post WW2.

Cheers Marc. It's off to the For Sale pages they go!... Or eBay.

Marc,
Ref 1 AGRA on a KD slip-on - would this have been worn in the Canal Zone or Libya in the period stated? I can't think of any other really large scale British deployment in khaki drill at that time.

That is possible.
