Default HELP PLEASE UNKNOWN CLOTH PATCH - FORTUNA ADIUVAT B.M.S.

Hi everyone my name is Davy I am new to the forum and collect NSKK pieces and IJA IJN flight related items, I am not very up on British items, I was hoping for any information on this cloth patch, I don`t know anything about it other than it was handmade , cloth front with fine hessian back.
may have been cut out of uniform but not sure.
just over 4 inches in height - It does not look like a military patch

thank you
Davy

Hello Davy.
I do not think this badge is a British Forces item.

The motto translates as 'Fortune favours me.' and not the common military one 'Fortume favours the brave', which is a quote from the Latin poet Terence, so, yes, probably a school.

Hi thanks for your help, there is a lot of work in this patch so don`t think school but cricket would be worth looking at due to backing colour.

thanks
