Default School of Military Engineering? ID Please.

Can anyone ID this (lapel?) badge please? I believe it may be School of Military Engineering, but am not certain.

Many thanks,

P.

Hi Peter,
A Google search confirms that the School of Military Engineering was established in 1812 (Warrant of 23 April 1812).
Cheer, Tinto

Thanks, Tinto.

Aren't the mottos those of the Royal Artillery: 'Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt' and 'Ubique' ?

Perhaps they had/have a connection with the school.

The Royal Engineers have the same motto's as the RA. Neither have colours but have "UBIQUE" (EVERYWHERE) instead.
