On 24th November 1985 I phoned The Cheshires RHQ to enquire about this badge and was told that it was issued when the 1st Bn went to Germany in 1974 and was worn for a very short time, being very unpopular and discontinued by the CO. It was then issued for wear on the track suit by personnel who'd passed a ski test. At the time I made the enquiry (Nov. 1985) it was worn as a beret badge by cadets. |

Leigh, thats really helpful and gives me a date for the 2 I have. I suspect the smaller - which has a more gold and silver like thread, is probably the 80's cadet example.

The version I enquired about is the one embroidered on dark blue felt which does'nt seem practical for aberet or track suit badge.
I'll dig it out and photo it. |

A bit 'rustic' looking . . . shame the moth got ro it. I would imagine the 2 I have then are likely both cadet versions.
Thanks Leigh. |
