50 Commando badge
I took off a print of your badge and took it to the MHS meeting in Dorchester today. I showed it to two members who have extensive knowledge of cloth badges and they both said that they had never seen such a badge illustrated anywhere, but that did not mean that no such badge was worn. Bearing in mind that this Commando unit was serving in the middle east it is perfectly possible that they had a local tailor make up these badges as did many other units. John.

When i 1st saw the badge i thought of the doormouse in "some talk of Private armies" in Len Whittakers book. This was for the special Companies of the Home Guard. i think i'll agree with blackpowder with his comment!
