Variant Identity
The source distinguishes the Soldiers - Beret UK/SC/5126 @ 21028 — NSN 8455-99-137-6949 specification within HAC Cap Badge.
Placement
Standard cap-badge placement depends on the headdress: about 2 cm above the beret band towards the left eye; on the left of Kilmarnock, Balmoral and Tam O'Shanter bonnets about 3.6 cm above the band; towards the left eye on a caubeen except the Irish Guards' reversed right-eye placement; centred on the front band of forage and Service Dress caps; and at the front or side of felt hats.
Fastening
Cap badges normally use a standard single vertical hook-shank fastener; exceptionally large badges may use additional support only where Army Dress Committee authority has been granted.
