The first picture is from the on-line CF supply catalogue showing the official badge of the 48th, including the typical slider. The small copper wire at 10 o'clock is the seal, as in sealed pattern.



This picture I took the other night, different badge and a terrible TOS.



It appears the war isn't over.

I also got from the museum the "definitive" answer to the garter/buckle issue. " in 1991 the Queen gave official approval for the regiment to again use the garter"
The vap badge on the sad looking tam is the current cap badge for the regiment.
