FYI this badge was worn by the regiment, and not just by the ACF.

12.04.62. Regt approved of samples.
18.05.62. Order of 1000 anodised cap badges supplied.
20.05.62. Cap badge first worn for ceremony to grant Regt Freedom of St. Albans.
25.11.66. WO32/20561. 286 Regt RA badge listed as a Territorial Regt item costing 1s.0d each.
01.04.67. Regt disbanded. Successor, 201 (H&BY) Medium Bty to wear RA badges.

I should have been clearer as I meant 'as well as by cadets' ie it was not just one regt wearing the badge so there are more of them around than just one regt's worth.
