An accidental find - 8th Army badge

[Goat]

I acquired (by accident as part of a box purchase) this Hasty-P BD jacket (as well as a beret and trousers). All suffer badly from moth attacks, and I am going to try my hand at restoring some of the holes using a museum method I have seen. When I checked the pocket backing for a source a fabric to patch the holes in the wool, I found this little badge in the pocket. Never knew it was there until today. Neat little find.

Nice one.

A very good extra in the pocket.

I bought an army BD that had wardens patches in the pocket, odd.

Good luck with the restoration, I have seen some stunning work done on old caps shown on another forum.
