Yes, even the band stopped wearing the No1 Dress cap (probably the last in the regiment to do so) because they regained scarlet full dress and sealskin hats (at regimental expense) and so dispensed with No1 Dress Blues other than for some concert gigs (these too were later replaced with a variation on mess dress).

This did not, however, cover WOs and Officers, neither of whom ever wore the aa badge at all. They had instead the embroidered grenade on beret (WOs) and Dress Cap (officers), with the latter wearing OSD badges on khaki caps.
