Which cap badge would he have been wearing at this time ILH or Tank Corps?

Hi Paul
Difficult question, I would suspect the SA Tank Corps but I have seen period pictures where a variety of badges were worn around this period. This was before the formation of the 6th SA Armoured Div for service in Italy where more strict conditions appear to have been implemented as to head dress insignia. Even with this, with reinforcements joining various regiments there were still different badges worn. Seen a group picture of NMR chaps in Italy wearing NMR and SA Tank Corps badges in the picture.
