at best maybe band?
would be interested to here of any provenance as unusual to be only hearing about it now after so many years.
would be interested to hear of anyone else with knowledge of an officers version of this badge.
bc
They came directly from the officer who wore them in the battalion during the 1950s. I have his name and picture of him wearing these but for privacy reasons won't share them here now as he is still alive.

Mark - I'll get back to you with more info when I get a chance.
