No idea, I can't make it out either, both sets of buttons on the tunics look to be the same though. I'll give it the once over again in a sec.

That's my damn regiment your being rude about, the good old KOMCD, shortened tape measures are standard issue as are multiple reading glasses in MTP camo of course. Imperative to carry spares for all the times you charge into battle with a pair you'd forgotten about on your head, whilst brandishing a broom handle.

Looks like a grenade and LF to me, they may be brothers/relations but with different battalions??

Oh good a sensible response, I was thinking it was 3 badges, but I think you might be right Paul it does look like a grenade and LF.

I assume there is nothing on the reverse to give any clues?

Nope no clues at all but I think Paul might be onto something, without clicking on the attachment it does look like flames on the top there, do you think?
