Default ID Royal Artillery Pagri Flash

All,
Need help to ID the unit. The metal portion is the typical Indian made cast type as usually seen on these.
Thanks much,
CB

Ewshott from at least July 1920, moving to Larkhill by end 1924, then Bulford, and finally Bordon, Hants, in March 1929.

Overseas to Lucknow from 24 November 1931, and then to Mhow in December 1936.

Comprised 69, 74, 77, and 79 Batteries during most of this period.

Knew all those RA Blue Lists would come in handy at some stage.

The Blue Lists from the late 1930s are particularly useful at tracing TA officers into WW2 - many served throughout in the same regiment - from say 1937 through to VE Day - same names, same units, ever more senior ranks.
