I have a very rare image for you to look at which shows an ASC soldier in Aldershot, taken in 1899 - 1900, prior to being moved out to South Africa.
I will let the image speak for us all, but i believe this to be a navy blue square patch, with no white stripe which is worn behind the QVC ASC badge, with collar badges shown in great detail.
