5th LANCIERS
Can anyone please tell me anything about the badge in the attached photos, I have a feeling it might be Belgian.
Thanks P.B.

Hello PB.What you have is the cap badge of the Belgian (in Flemish) 5th Lansierbataljon*.It seems it was a reserve tank battalion until ca 1969 when it was disbanded.This badge was in use 1960-1964,then a different pattern was in use until 1969.

Thanks Jo,
Appreciated, I still think that badges dating from the 1960`s are modern and I suppose in some respects they are but still over 50 years old. Peter
