The SLI badge is not right. It was only ever worn in nickel on a slider.

I agree with Alan, the SLI isn’t good but the RIR is fine.

What is the rule that 'bronzed' GM and WM cannot be OSD's !?
Although the SLR looks like a OR badge.


There is the notion that SNCOs who were commissioned in the field and immediately painted their badge brown. !?

Julian

A single case was mentioned a few years ago on the forum and it might be the sort of thing the HG might do. However as a newly commissioned officer would need to buy himself a new officers peaked cap or beret then the badge would come with it.
