Hi, indeed, it started in 1945-46 with the RMLE who were supposed to fight the japanese, then became the 2e REI... the badge was replaced in the late 50s by the present regimental pocket badge, but in Afghanistan the dragon was reintroduced for Task Force Dragon and the regiment used it for outside operations like Afghanistan, Mali, Niger
