Perhaps they should hand it over to The Wardrobe! My records show that this was worn by 4 Wilts - also 129 Inf Bde. Very important to be able to distinguish soldiers from two battalions of the same regiment in the same brigade at the same time - especially when it comes to the CMP's area of responsibility.

Mike,
Senior moment! I suspect I took the picture at the Wardrobe in Salisbury. Earlier post corrected. Tim
