Let me start by saying I need that badge! Not a strict rule in regards torpedos; also awarded to MM men who had been mined.
To quote The Board of Trade regarding the wear of this badge:
Quote:
|
The Torpedo badge is to be sewn on the cuff of the left sleeve of either sea or shore rig, with head of torpedo pointing away from the wearer

If your total nut you could consult MT9/1300/M5841/1919 at the National Archives regarding the badge.
Badges were awarded to next of kin where a claim was successful had the applicant survived.
The badge was authorised on 6th June 1918. On the 12th December the badge was approved in gold wire. Holders of the red badge and bar could exchange them for the gold badge.
