    Marksmanship badge - where does the 'gp rifle' tag go?

    So he's got his rifle and crown and I know this goes bottom central on the brassard but where does the 'GP Rifle' tag go?

    TIA

    Is the DS answer.

    Worry not that the example is CCF, should be the same.


    (Probably worth said cadet checking out that does happen in his own unit - as if his Commandant had decreed it be worn on the forehead, get ready with the pain relieving spray!)

    There used to be, it got canned and the badge is now obsolete.

    Usually they are sewn in a sort of list on one side of hte brassard...

    er, not sure which side though.

    Here you go.



    There are brassard pics with the list and badge on the other side though...

    and some look like the badges have been catapulted in to location and sewn where ever they land...



    Might be worth checking with the Det or one of your Cadets cronies. At least then you know there will be two berks on parade if you get it wrong...

    Choc Frog also points out sensibly that your lad is best doing what the rest of his unit do!

    It is normal for just one rifle and one weapon label to be on the brassard, thus if a marksman as below, but if the GP badge has been awareded it would outdate the 0.22 which would be removed.

    But some counties seem to favour the list... I've seen Cadets with .22, GP AND LSW all on one brassard. And target rifle possibly.
