Hi, Only just joined site and found this thread.

I believe I also have a picture of the motto being worn.

Can anyone tell me if the mottos/badges below are real?

Thanks

G'day Balian

The motto on the left is worn on the cap and the one on the right is a SNCO's Arm Motto and it is know as a Chadd.

Hope that this helps.

Regards

Phil.
