Default QRL's question
Sorry folks if this is a silly question but did the QRL get issued with anodised Motto cap badges on formation or were they issued with metal ones?
Cheers
Sean

Actually if you were former 17th/21st you kept your Motto just put a red backing on. If you were former 16th/5th you got issued AA but most soon swapped to metal.
