Union Jack pocket hanger badge?

[Sapper533]

Does anyone have any ideas about this badge, it's very similar to the British Military Mission to Greece but with a Union Flag as opposed to A Greek one.

Thanks Simon, I initially found one a few years ago in a junk shop in Athens, I thought it was British Troops India, worn by the last contingent before hand over in 1947, I will post some pictures later.

this one turned up on eBay a couple of weeks ago, I missed out on it but what surprised me was it was also located in Athens! That's what got me wondering about a British Military Mission Greece link??

Something similar currently listed on Ebay to the Greek Army
