From "Duke of Edinburgh's Royal Regiment (Berkshire and Wiltshire)" by Martin McIntyre in association with the Royal Glocestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Regimental Museum:
"In 1969 the Wessex Brigade was incorporated into the Prince of Wales's Division and a decision was made that regiments could revert to their former cap badges. As the regiment did not have one it adopted the collar badge worn at that time.............The Brandywine flash as shown was worn in the beret only. When the regiment was stationed in Osnabruck in 1978 a small-scale experiment was tried with an all-cloth version. This was quickly discarded".
