Happy New Year to All,
Here is a badge which seems to have Cape Town links.
Can anyone identify it?
Thanks, John

Not being an authority on South African badges, I would say this is a later version of the earlier Cape Corps badge by the lady and the anchor in the centre.

Badge worn by the "South African Coloured Corps" c. 1963 to c.1972.
Renamed "Cape Corps Service Battalion" in 1972.
Brass badge replaced with a Chrome version c 1975 and worn for very short period, been replaced with new badge.
