We have found this badge(?) amongst my deceased father in law’s belongings. Obviously it is from the Royal Artillery but the size is somewhat mystifying. It is embroidered cloth 8 1/2” x 7 1/2”. We are struggling to understand it’s purpose. It seems too big to be from any uniform and doesn’t seem to have been removed from a standard or similar. i have included a photo of the back in case it helps. Can anyone suggest its purpose? Is it actually attributable to the regiment or may it have been made by a third party? Many thanks Terry

Many thanks Chris. 👍

Thank you Michael, the picture is becoming much clearer. I will have to go on a genealogy site and try and find his service record to broaden our knowledge. Terry

Many thanks Pete. Interested information. 😘

That’s a perfect match, obviously he travelled further afield than we thought. Many thanks we are very grateful.

Hi, I can see from the discussions here that there are some very knowledgeable militaria folks here, I hope someone can help. With the recent passing of my mother in law the family have had to clear many years worth of saved treasures and memories. One item we have found is a cap badge. My father in law served in the RAF during the 1950’s. One of his tours was in the North Africa region. Sadly we cannot find any service papers that may point to whether it was Egypt, Libya or possibly Aden. We are guessing that he was given or perhaps swapped the cap badge with a serviceman from the region he was stationed in. I have tried image searches and other tools with no success. I am guessing that the script is Arabic but I am not even sure about that. So folks can anyone out there identify this cap badge so that the family solve this puzzle. Many thanks Terry
