BMATT Zimbabwe

Hi folks

For years I have had this in my collection as British Military Assistance Training Team Zimbabwe but I also have the Union Jack badge with BMATT below.
Have I got this wrong? Is it Rhodesian perhaps ?
Cheers
Sean

Sean I have asked a well known collector of Rhodesian and Zimbabwean badges and he has confirmed it is a Zimbabwean badge, waiting on confirmation it is the School of Infantry badge., Wayne

No help to you but I've seen that somewhere but I can't remember where.

Saw one sell recently as Zimbabwe School of Infantry, but checked photos on the web in case the Schools flag or Sign was shown but no luck

I also tried several Google searches, but no luck finding anything on the Zimbabwe School of Infantry. I then tried a Facebook search and again no luck. Sorry
