As for the flaming grenade badge, I doubt very very much it's a Foreign Legion badge. All FL badge have the combination two colours red & green, never red & blue. Cheers Jo

Hi Jo,
Many thanks once again for helping out with that one. I have been looking at the other blue/red badge and it tends to resemble the Belgian Gendarmerie badges. I'll have to try that line of inquiry. All the best and thanks to everyone who helped. Bill

Here's a link to a site which shows insignia of the Belgian Gendarmerie.
