In Jan 1918 he was made a Tank Instructor before being commissioned into the Tank Corps.

So with all that in mind can anyone show me what Machine Gun Corps cap badge I should be looking for please?

Thanks a lot,

Michael
The standard MGC cap badge and shoulder titles were worn but with the letter ‘H’ beneath the latter, until such time as a discrete badge was introduced for the Tank Corps.
