Sorry Marc, just revisited this, I didn't mean to suggest I disagreed with you in the next post, only that I had more info to add on No 3.
A question I do have - c1843 for the introduction of the 'gun' badge for SNCO of the RA, do you have a source? I am presuming that it is the 'cannon' from the award to the RA of the Royal Arms, together with a Cannon, and the Motto...etc.
Does anybody have any idea on the attached gun badges - I have wondered if they were RNZA for the green shirt in Singapore or Malaysia.
