just read the piece and yes sounds like it could be the badge "The hat badge will be the joint badge of the H.R.C.S. and the .Order of St. John of Jerusalem in the past this badge has been worn only by the staff at Devonshire House and by Princess Mary's detachment; -but the privilege of using it has now been ex tended to the three Dominions'. detachments—Canadian, South African, and Australian. The word 'Australia' in bronze letters will be worn on the shoulder strap. Interesting Rob |
