My thoughts are Royal West African Frontier Force, I think the green triangle denotes Nigeria but not sure about the red strip.

Hi

Thanks for your suggestion. I agree with your thoughts that it is West African Frontier Force, but which Regiment?

Cheers

John.

I found my notes, Green triangle is Nigerian units, red arm of service strip is Infantry, which makes this The Nigeria Regiment
Hope this helps
Regards
Sean
