My view is that the Royal Warwickshire Regiment wore the Antelope in bimetal until 1958/1959. They were nominated to the Midland Brigade in 1958 but the name was changed to the Forester Brigade shortly thereafter and a Forester Brigade cap badge was sealed on 14 April 1959. The Forester Brigade badge was worn until 1963 when the regiment became Fusiliers and moved to the Fusilier Brigade.
