......one thing to remember,the unit landed with 177 officers and or's and they had received one and only one cap badge, made by gaunt....even counting a very very small over run in making the badges,that's less than 200 badges made and numbered in 1944....I've read that each FM Commando when receiving his badge had the number on the back,registered to him............
