Here is a picture of Captain Jack D Dunbar Intelligence Corps in Service Dress. He is wearing a collar badge (probably silver plated) in the maroon airborne beret. He was the OC of 89 Field Security Section (89 FSS).
In July 1943 for Operation HUSKY, 89 FSS deployed with 1st Airborne Division in gliders to Sicily and Captain Dunbar was tragically drowned attempting to rescue another soldier, when their glider ditched prematurely.
When the Intelligence Corps adopted the Cypress Green Beret in 1977 as the only head dress, officers and warrant officers initially wore a Queen’s Crown silver plate collar badge in the beret. By the early 1990s this was superseded by a full size bullion embroidered badge.
