Paul

From memory when I served with them there were commandos from

Royal Marines
Royal Navy - Medics, Photographers, FAA, Marine Engineers on LC, Signallers with 148 Bty.
Royal Artillery - 29 Regt
Royal Signals - attached to Y Sqn
Royal Engineers - 59 and 131 Cdo Sqn now 23 Regt RE
Army Catering Corps - attached to 29 now RLC Badged
RCT - Commando Log Regt now RLC
RAOC - TA Cdo Petrol Troop now RLC
REME - Commando Helicopter Force and Commando Logs.
Intelligence Corps - HQ 3 Cdo Bde
Parachute Regiment - One officer at BdeHQ wore a Para cap badge on the green lid.

An officer with any of these units could have worn a cloth cap badge on the Cdo green beret. Although 1 Rifles are no longer in 3 Cdo Bde a fair few men passed the AACC and some of these have now gone into the reserve at 6 Rifles
