If this photo has you scratching your head it shows how the first Beret Badges for 2 (Army) Commando were fashioned using a nickel fork and a file. As Units were being formed there was no central kit issue until the introduction of the universal Commando Green Beret, even then most Troopers wore the Cap Badge of their ‘home’ Regiment, Corps or Service. Even the Achnacary Assault Courses were made by hand, using local material such as trees.
