SLO in wreath is listed as no. 210 amongst "Unidentified, Unauthenticated and Unofficial Badges".
Searchlight operator. Worn by Royal Engineers, later by Royal Artillery, during the blitz of WWII. It is also found in gold/blue (for wear with No1 Dress) and therefore one may suppose it to be official but there is no substantiation for this.
(We'd better lay low for a while now - all this sharing of info instead of buying the book is eating into grumpy's pension money).
