The only remaining TA Bn of the King's (the new 1958 regiment) was the old 5th Bn King's which wore the small 1950 size AA badge. Actually I believe that this never made it to the regular King's before September 1958 and was thus only worn by the 5th Bn between 1958 and 1967.

Thanks KLR,

Any ideas what would be a good name for the badge?

Regards

Chris
