Thats very interesting as it shows that the badges were wartime produced and available to be worn from VE day rather than as I had read elsewhere only produced after the war as a type of OCA badge.

Question Auxilliary units personnel

I have read that when the SAS was expanded for operations in europe some personnel from the Auxilliary units joined them.

Is there any records of this?

Yes, it is well-known and recorded in books on the subject, such as Fire From The Forest by Roger Ford etc.
