The badge embroidered on a green backing was the beret badge, on a black backing the forage cap badge.
I have three Devon & Dorset officer's forage caps, I'm not sure if they have that "shaped backing. |

Thanks Leigh I picked them in a lot along with a KORB bullion badge, all 3 are new and the KOEB and D&D on green are sealed in the makers bags. Graham

I'm an ex Gloster and the D&D were in the same Div as us. A good bunch. We actually served side-by-side in Berlin. Nice to see the old badges again. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks again Leigh seems like mine is a variation of how the forage cap badge backing was cut and the shape is similar to yours in the first and second photos.

The D&D officers' embroidered badge I bought for a friend commissioned into the regiment, from Herbert Johnson, was square backed.

The green backed version for wear on the beret is on a square backing.

Yes, the beret badge was square/rectangular, two of the black backed versions I have sewn to forage caps are "shaped", one is square.
"British Army Badges" by Lt Col R Hodges published 2005, shows the green backed as square, the black backed as shaped. |

Devon & Dorset Officer's Cap Badge
I recently came across a gilt and silver plated Devon & Dorset officer's metal cap badge (2 lugs). Anyone know when the D&D moved to using bullion wire badges on the forage cap?
