Default RAMC green beret
I'd like to know if Medical troops attached to (Royal Marines) Commandos used to wear RAMC cap badges on their green berets during ww2.

Great answer by Tim - the answer is yes as illustrated.
It actually caused some confusion with other similar headdress badges worn in the ubiquitous Commando green beret I believe (according to the account of a veteran I spoke to many many years ago).

And a green beret by the looks of it, or is it just poor lighting?

Rgds, Thomas.

You will need one with lugs as it's not a good idea to make any new holes in a valuable green beret to accept a slider (assuming your RM badge has lugs).
