BRITISH ROYAL TANK REGIMENT--Cairo Made?
This Badge came back to South Africa as a momento of the Desert War. It was the design of this badge which motivated Brink's Design for the one to the South African Tank Corps; we were actually in armoured cars. "Quartermaster's Comment":- Quite well made for Cairo. There is a good touch of brass in the mix and the badge has copper lugs. The 4th/6th S.A. Armoured Car Regiment was Brigaded with the British 8th Tank Regiment at El Alamein.
