That was nice of someone in the military to have decided this is so important that soldiers will pay out of thier own pockets so the approval process could be expidited. I guess you probably don't have to ask treasury board if you order soldiers to spend thier money.All other members of the RCA [who do not pay dues to the regimental fund] entitled to wear the RCA metal cap badge will be required to obtain their own replacement cap badge within the grace period provided.

Like Guns.
And Air Defence.
And doctrine....

Maple Leaf Services, a non-military, arms length, organization that operated the canteens and remitted a percentage of the profit to the regimental fund.

Happy Guy said:Given the current tendency to go back to our historic and memorable British past (sarcasm) is the 2006 badge the same as the current Royal Artillery cap badge?
