Anyone know what this POW badge would be for? It is on a WWII Slouch hat.

Thanks.

The style of feathers is particular to the Officers' badge of the Royal Wiltshire Yeomanry. However it may well be commonwealth and not british at all.

Green feather is indicative of a Welsh Regiment (Green/White = Welsh Archers colours, from the tunics to the fletchings, and also Welsh Regiments)

Thanks Alan & Griff.

Seller has it listed as Welsh (with a S) 2nd Bn. It is on a British WWII period Slouch hat.
