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 Heavy Branch of the Machine Gun Corps became the Tank Corps on 27th July 1917. If your relative transferred from the RFA to the MGC on 11th August 1917 then he would have gone into either MGC(Infantry), MGC(Cavalry) or MGC(Motors) as the MGC(Heavy) no longer existed as such. He must have then transferred to the Tank Corps later on so it would seem.
