If you have the original and can scan just the helmet badge at a resolution of 400dpi then the lads may have a better chance of identifying the regiment.

OK...here is a restored version. Not as clear as I would like but it is a low resolution scan.

Scans of the hat badge at different dpi are not as clear as in the restored image. Have tried to attach them without success!

The file size must be below the 500kbs limit. If you try again, you must rename the file.
