Boring: whoever designed this must have done it on their coffee break, a complete lack of imagination.

Not impressed!! No matter what traditions and customs we take over to the formation of a new Regt, it is always the Cap badge that ultimately determines who we are. Whenever you look at another Regiment/Unit it is the badge you recognise above and beyond all else. The RRW must be having a right little chuckle!

To All RWF Comrades.
Just to reminder you that the RWF Comrades Association Branch members will continue to carry out the RWF Regimental values in that when on parade the members will continue to wear the dark coloured beret and the RWF Cap Badge and Hackle. (Remember our RWF Comrades' Association have still got our old traditional customs and are independent, the Comrades' are the RWF now) so wear your headress and Cap badge with pride.
Yours

Just read on the Vetrans Site that they will be having the Green patch behind the Badge, does this include all Battalions

Even the temporary badge has the green backing, so I believe its always been agreed to have it.

Yes all Battalions. It was the 1st Bn that suggested we go back to it as the 5mm cut to shape looks terrible and is difficult for tailors to do.

So once the new badge is issued we will all go to the square green patch.

Well what can I say that's not already been said!
What's the betting that RRW Brigadier had his hand in this mish-match as well!
I hope that the Colours can at least be something we can all remember. Or has that S..... T... got that stitched up also?
As Royal Welchmen we can be and stay proud of the fact that for over 300 years we served as a Single Regiment. Those who seek to destroy the identitiies and bonds of loyal regiments by making our Armed Forces no more recognisable than the US forces, are even today feeling the pinch of their ill-concieved c..k-up as we see our boys in complete overstretch having to move from one commitment to the next like robots; not getting the breaks and career structures they all deserve. When oh when will politicians and the MOD learn to listen to the people who do their dirty work?
