Trade badges
Can someone explain to me why the badge class 'B' is smaller then the normal variant class 'A' in this case?
Also one badge is red/orange with green, why is this? Badges are part of a small lot recently found on a fleamarket in Belgium, are these ww2 or possibly later? |

The small badges are the post c1962 pattern, the large is the pre c1962 pattern which continued in use by the Guards, the green and beech brown is a Women's Royal Army Corps badge.

Remember one day when I was the Picquet Sergeant at Caterham Barracks and I visited the Regimental Butcher in his stores with the Picquet Officer to inspect the meat for the day and I can assure you he was vulgar when the young Officer started prodding the meat with a cane! By the way he used to wear a blue cloth cap with a blue red blue square with a cloth Coldstream Star sewn on it.

Regimental Barber and Regimental Signwriter also spring to mind from the early 1980's whilst at Caterham Barracks!
