The Commando Troopers grouped behind the CVA Standard Bearer are drawn from the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps. In their Green Berets they wear the RNLC Cap Badge which is a Naval ‘fouled’ Anchor capped by the Dutch Royal Crown and angled. They will have trained at a French
Commando Centre to Special Forces level and are quite distinct from the Dutch Commando Trooepen.

I believe this Commando is wearing a Staffordshire Regimental Cap Badge as I can just make out the Staffordshire Knot which was designed to hang three people at a time!
