Title: Help with WW2 Side Cap badge
Post by: cartesr on Thursday 30 September 21 11:14 BST (UK)

Hi
I'm hoping somebody out there might recognise this cap badge in the attached photo. This photo is in a box of family photos and I have no idea who it is. I'm sort of hoping recognising the cap badge might lead me to work out who it is knowing the service of some of my extended family, or it might just be a friend of the family. I've tried searching images in google for cap badges and the closest I could find seemed to be the Royal Artillery, but that does not seem to be a canon wheel on the badge more like an oval, and I'm stumped. 

Any help would be much appreciated

thanks

Steve

I would have said that it was Royal Army Pay Corps.
