But....
Not many army badges found on RM Cdo berets with the exception of 24/29Cdo and attached personnel who earned the beret, Im sure there was a hole in RM intelligence up until recently and the Int Corps works/ed closely with them, the shape fits Paul |

Thank you Paul.
I asked because I did not know. I did read a thread on there being a medical badge worn sometimes?

From memory when I served with them there were commandos from Royal Marines Royal Navy - Medics, Photographers, FAA, Marine Engineers on LC, Signallers with 148 Bty. Royal Artillery - 29 Regt Royal Signals - attached to Y Sqn Royal Engineers - 59 and 131 Cdo Sqn now 23 Regt RE Army Catering Corps - attached to 29 now RLC Badged RCT - Commando Log Regt now RLC RAOC - TA Cdo Petrol Troop now RLC REME - Commando Helicopter Force and Commando Logs. Intelligence Corps - HQ 3 Cdo Bde Parachute Regiment - One officer at BdeHQ wore a Para cap badge on the green lid. An officer with any of these units could have worn a cloth cap badge on the Cdo green beret. Although 1 Rifles are no longer in 3 Cdo Bde a fair few men passed the AACC and some of these have now gone into the reserve at 6 Rifles Last edited by James K; 01-02-19 at 06:10 PM. |

I have a silver on rifle green commando dagger badge that I was given . It was made by the Garrison Tailor in Bulford. There isn't a general issue version of the badge.

With a Vocab Number 70239 ? and no NSN from the 1960s -1970s and pre metric sizing.
Definitely a Royal Marines Commando beret but with a cloth sewn on badge possibly worn by an Army officer in the RA, RE or Commando Logistic Regiment. Tim

Very Senior Royal Marines Officers, usually Brigadiers and above, also wore 'cloth' badges on their green berets, certainly in my time. Not that I was in the habit of associating with these gentlemen you understand !

24 Cdo RE Cdo and 29 Cdo RA would be manned with attached (army) personnel similar to comparable sized army unit. This I’m sure would include a RAMC Officer, if he completed the All Arms course he would wear the Beret, similar with any other Corps who were on exchange or atttached to a Cdo unit wether 24/29 or RM.
The shape of were the badge was does not suggest to me RA or RE Grenade type wore by Officers, my first thought was Int Corps but RAMC is a good possibility. Paul |
