Description
Dark blue circular woven cloth patch featuring a stylised image of a black and grey monkey superimposed on the gold numeral 'III'.
History / Summary
Unit badges such as this were worn on the uniforms of US Navy SEAL (SEa-Air-Land) special forces teams working with RAN boarding parties on HMAS Kanimbla in the Persian Gulf during Operation 'Slipper'. This badge has apparently not been worn, since it has no Velcro backing.
