Best way in my opinion. At least you still get some satisfaction. Others may not agree though.

Just had a look for dates regarding 3RTR in Ulster, "The History of the Tank Regiment" states 1973 then a second tour 1974 to 1975 so the black badge must have made an appearance around that time.

I can't remember that far back, I was still a cadet then. All I know for sure is we were wearing gilt badges in 1979, although some units had changed to blackened ones. I transferred to QRIH that year. By 1983 when our first detachment was going to NI as PGF (Maze) they blackened their badges. When I transferred back to the UDR in 85 I was issued one gilt and one blackened badge.
