Re Other Ranks Collar badges - 'most' WRAC' are seconded to other Corps in their given trade and wear a Regimental collar badge of the Regiment/Corps above the left breast pocket. I remember many such WRAC wearing RAOC badges while in service.

What 'regimentally employed' WRAC at Gilford wore I do not know.

At Bicester in the early 70's we had a WRAC CSM who wore a RAOC collar badge, and I must admit I cannot remember what the attached WRAC WO1's (of which we had a few at Bicester) wore on No2 dress, but they did wear a RAOC badge on the green pullover.
It took me time, but I finally got around to getting a WRAC "Trained Soldier" anodised aluminium badge a few months ago (the one that looks like a CG cap star with a rose in the centre).
