Trade badge worn on No2 Dress and Barrack Dress for Light Machine Gun later Light Support Weapon. The one pictured looks like Guards.

Different trade and qualification badges shown in album linked below although some others were added.

The embroidery and colours are correct for WW2 and post for SD and BD. The embroidery changed with the introduction of the 1960 pattern badges, which are smaller except for the Guards Division which kept the large size but changed the colours and cottons.
