Light Dragoons beret badge
Hi Guys,
I picked this up on a whim recently from Dead Spartan. He had it described as a post 1994 Light Dragoons beret badge. Just wondering if anyone has any more info about it? Its a couple of millimetres larger than the current officer's bullion hat badge and much larger than their collar badges. Regards, Mick

Well all the LD officers and soldiers I ever met wore the full cross badge on their berets. Creative labelling?

Hi Mick, i like it, well made etc, so food for thought, 13/18th amalgmated with the Light Dragoons 1992, red backing from the LD's, scroll from the 13/18th, possibly a Colonel showing his lineage, as they like to do! Regards Mark

I guess that would make it quite a rare badge in that case. Mick
