The Cayman Islands also have a new unit which I think will start as Engineers & Signallers. Their badge attached.
Cannot find a badge for the Turks & Caicos Regt yet

Thanks for the info - I managed to hunt this image down of a cadet insignia....Not sure if this will reflect the cap badge?

Not a correct from an heraldic point of view. The error is fairly obvious. I'd be surprised if that that been approved by authorities in London.

Both the flag and the coat of arms of the Turks and Caicos Islands include this insignia , so a possibility ?

"The coat of arms, which was granted on 28 September 1965, takes the shape of a yellow shield which contains a conch shell, lobster, and a Melocactus. The Melocactus, which is visually similar to the traditional Turkish fez, give the islands the first half of their name."
