Default Unknown Patch?

Hello, I obtained this patch at Chatham today and I am unsure who it is for???
A printed red shield with 2 white crossed spears on a Green back ground.
1st theory is Unit in Africa (Training Team in Kenya?)
2nd is possible to do with a Royal Marine Commando ?
Can you shed light on this please??

I've checked Volume II (1939-67) of BoB, negative result (always a possibility that I've missed it, but I was thinking of it as a more recent badge).

Jerry,

It's not in my book as it's not British Army although it is clearly a product of the Calico Printers Association.

John Waring's Identification Pamphlet No 3 Shoulder Patches of Commonwealth Military Forces Part 2 identifies it as for the Kenyan Army.

As a Society Member you can buy a copy of the pamphlet. PM me if interested.

Jon

Thank you Jon for the information. Will you have a copy at the upcoming RAF Scampton meet?
With regard to John Waring's pamphlet, would this be pre or post Kenyan independence ?
