Really? You find me a picture of a WW2 Royal Navy Commando wearing a dagger badge and I'll believe it! the only "dagger" badge I've ever seen RN commandos wearing is the tombstone one worn on the cuff, previous to this they simply wore a shoulder title "Commando" and before that in WW2 RN COMMANDO, definitely to my knowledge no dagger badge.
As for a dagger badge being given out with the green beret in WW2 at Achnacarry, never heard it said before and not at Ardentinny (HMS Armadillo) either.
