Thanks. It would have been strange if it was British but the style of the star and flash did look so familiar, I wondered if it was a volunteer sporting an emblem from his former service.

British TRF in Ukraine?
Glancing at this Reuters photograph of President Zelenskiy of Ukraine, the helmet of the soldier to his left caught my eye immediately.
Is that some form of British TRF on his helmet?

'Cap badge'
I believe 'cap badge' can be a generic term for badges worn on headgear.
Did Fusiliers never wear a peaked cap with No 2 Dress post-1945?
