It is one quarter of the Pagri badge of the 9th (Kabul 1842) Light (How) Bty, 2nd Light Brigade, RA.
Worn in Egypt 1930-35 and India 1927-1930 and 1935-1937. Worn on a red and blue cloth diamond with a separate brass 9 above it and a separate brass L below it. regards

Not much glory to be had from "Kabul 1842";
The 1842 Kabul Retreat (or Massacre of Elphinstone's Army) was the total loss of a combined force of British and Indian troops from the British East India Company and the deaths of thousands of civilians in Afghanistan between 6–13 January 1842
