Guards "Trade" badges in worsted
Please can someone tell me when these were introduced?
I have been startled to read a leading authority state that they were possibly in use in the Great War. It would be good to have a definitive answer. Pattern number or Army Order? Either way, if they were in use 100 years ago they were not described in PVCN or Clothing Regs that I can see.

The PVCN for 1926, lists a number of sleeve badges (LG in Wreath ect.) as Worsted. These I would expect to be in khaki thread on khaki serge, of course not exclusive to the Guards.

The 2/3rds size badges and chevrons in a white thread on khaki were introduced on the issue of No2 Service Dress to replace Battle Dress. They are classed as 1960 Pattern and were manufactured and issued from the early 1960s. Patterns in ‘Regimental colours’ also appeared in the 1960s.
