For some reason the First Aid Instructor's badge worn upper right arm (and introduced 1962?) has the "Instructor" scroll as part of the design of the anodised aluminium version although the cloth versions don't, it's not specific to a particular unit.

Some cloth and metal examples. The silver anodised version was intended for Light Infantry warm weather dress.


The small gm version bottom row centre is a cut-down RAMC cap badge!

Is it known if the "INSTUCTOR" version exists only in gold a/a?
I'd never seen an example of that badge in gilding metal before by the way.

I don't recall ,I don't have any notes on a/a trades so I cant help sorry. Perhaps Bess or Bobanodised may know .

As far as im aware there isn't a Rifles cloth version of the first aid badge yet,but no doubt one will appear in the future.
