Most interesting! I have done some research on 37th (Forestry) Company, a Second World War unit of the South African Engineer Corps and as part of that discovered that some SANLC were involved in forestry activities in the First World War. I managed to find some photographs in the Archives in Cape Town a few years ago of SANLC in France. The 'European' officer was wearing UK General List collar badges. Some officers wore UK General List cap badges and others South African Infantry cap badges. The 'Native labourers' were all wearing great coats and slouch hats. I could not make out any form of hat badge on the slouch hats. I would love to find out more about the 32nd Company and this badge!
