Could I be right?

Hi Anthony
The 48 Brigade badge 1957 - 1959 was white crossed kukries on a red background. I served in Sekkong with 1RTR, (10 Troop Leader, C Squadron) throughout this period and still have my original ones on my "OGs" (Olive Greens) as made for me by our regimental tailor, Au Wai Lam.
Sadly the appear to have shrunk a liitle over the years!!
Best wishes
