Default Trade/Qualification badge

No image available but a British World War 2 qualification/trade badge worn on Battledress: an Upper Case letter K with a wreath. Perhaps Army Kinematographic Service?

Possibly Cook Royal Marines - C in wreath being used for Clerk.
Cooks branch was established in 1947 and a badge would be worn on Battle Dress.
This is the current issue. Now known as Caterer.
