Leigh,
The 4th battalion Regimental history, is named the " The Maroon Square".
I don't have a copy but if they named it "The Maroon Square" It's probably a safe bet that it was a treasured (tribal) item of distinction and would keep it no matter what. On a blue beret it would look very smart. Also in the photos posted of the cadets the bottom row all have the maroon square on closer inspection. I may be wrong, but the tribal instinct is wrong. If you display it turns out to be incorrect, you can always remove it.
