Bays
The Queen's Bays St Edward's Crown Cap Badge: Amendment 66 of 1955 to the 1953 CCN notifies the obsolescence of the Tudor Crown Badge (catalogue number CB0261), replacing it with a gilding metal St Edward's Crown Badge (Catalogue number 2948). The Bays definitely received some of these badges as a good friend of mine received one from QM QDG in 1967 from his 'obsolete stores'.
The 1953 CCN Cat No CB3005 denoted the AAG version of this badge. Made by Gaunt.
Cox in Langridge mentions that "some ORs of the Queen's Bays wore the AAG version" and that none were noted wearing the GM version.
