Hi,Arthur,I served with 26 Gurkha inf bde,from early 1953 to aug 1955,the unit did have a bde patch which was the cross Kukries on a green background.The Bde was part of 17 Div in Seremban,and was stationed in Kluang where I first joined them.It was not long afterwards that we became,a mobile headquarters ,supporting operational unit close to the area of operations,in such places as Kual Lipis,Bukit Betong,Bidor,Kuala pilah,and finaly we marched from Kuala pilah to Seremban,the whole unit took part in thismarch.We did at the end of the day ended up staying at rasah camp where I eventualy returned home.Hope this helps Edward
