Default George Cross, Intelligence, MI6

I have put this post in this section "just in case".

The seller suggests that this badge may be something to do with the George Cross, Intelligence and or MI6.

Does anybody know what it really is?

The seller is clutching at straws and just keyword spamming.

I thought MI6 officers wore a white carnation and a copy of the times, rather than a lapel badge

PS - no idea what it actually is.

I don't think it has anything to do with Camp X or MI6. The layout of the letters could be construed as an 'X' below 'Camp'; on the other hand, it could be an 'A'. The Camp X Society lapel badge is altogether different.

A clue might be in the white cross over a red background.

Thanks for that.

With any luck a member will recognise what the badge actually is.
