Thanks, CT Auctions had a similar badge in 2016, they had it as Northamptonshire, but I see that it could be Norfolk.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen combined ops badges worn on DPM. Units in 3 Cdo Bde wear a dagger, but only on DPM after the 1990s. I think this might be a film rather than actual service.

As an aside, the opening picture for the article isn’t actually a Brodrick cap, it’s a WW2 period MARENS cap.

Ray,
All RM badges for this period are in the clothing cost lists, there is NO separate entry for an RMA collar badge.

It’s either an FOI request for his service records or tracking him through navy lists. The WW2 ones are online and searchable at the National Library of Scotland
