An unusual place to wear a patch

[slick_mick]

I thought I'd share this unusual way of wearing a patch - inside of a beret!

An unofficial patch worn by members of 'B' Squadron, 4/19th Prince of Wales's Light Horse. Worn inside the beret behind the unit badge.

Awarded to members who have served several years in the Squadron and who have shown dedication to the unit.

On the formation of 5 Bde, which took over from 16 Para Bde in Aldershot, some members took to wearing the 16 Para Bde FS on the inside of the jacket. I think a vast number of them were very disappointed at the new sign for 5 Bde and showed it. Wonderful!

As worn by a WO1, AAC c 8 years ago. In this case the general dissatisfaction was the adoption of the formation sign of 16 Air Assault Brigade, displacing that of 5 Airborne Brigade. Apologies for the poor quality image - taken on the run in the middle of an exercise.

In Canada it's not uncommon to see soldiers wear their former regiments' cap badge inside their beret. Especially former members of the Canadian Airborne Regiment, or Regular Force members wearing their Reg Force cap badge inside their militia headdress.
