The blades are designed so that the badge fits to the black hat band but doesnt actually pierce the rear of the cap .

Dress guidance states that it can be worn by ACF cadets in Berkshire and Wiltshire as well as Gloucestershire ACF.
As for adult soldiers companies in 6 and 7 Rifles that were RGBWLI formerly.. Document dated 2016. |

Thanks Paul and Mike, I thought I had read that ACF wore it. Strange that the Regular Rifles don't wear a back badge on the beret.

The Regulars derive from many battalions such as the D&D and LI and have no affinity with the Glosters. The ACF kept the badge on the beret against the wishes of many who wanted to keep the Rifles as a brand without such things.
