I was hoping to find an image of the cloth badge in wear but couldn't find one.
Interesting and unexpected to see "shiney" rather than blackened badges in wear in Bogside, NI by 1DERR in 1979. Could be that a ceasefire was in place so the unblackened badges were in use.
It could be that the battalion's impending move to NI in 1979 was the impetus for the short lived cloth badge introduced in 1978.
