That is the formation sign of 23rd (Southern Corps) which was a post WW2 Territorial Army formation.

The 'beast' represents the Capricorn sign of the Zodiac.

The red on black patch is for the Combined Operations, consisting of commandos from all three services. A nice WW2 tombstone shape paste back example.
