South African Gunner
Photographed in East London this Gunner has the orange tab on his shoulder strap and the letters AA on his arm badge.
Can anyone explain the exact meaning of the arm badge? Jon

That little cannon is just for the entertainment of visitors to the Castle.
The real noon day gun is fired everyday from Signal Hill... https://www.capetown.travel/signal-hill-noon-gun/
