Default Pretoria Regt. (Princess Alice's own,) WM beret badge

Hi all,

I picked up a Pretoria Regt. (Princess Alice's own,) WM beret badge. Would this have been an Officer's badge.

Hi Iain,
looks like a chrome plated brass badge and not white metal. Could be band related, but I doubt it is specific to an officer.

It's possible could be chromed; did Bandsmen wear a silvered badge do you know?
