The closest I can come up with is Royal Engineers, but I am far from certain.
Please help me to help you by citing sources for information.

Doesn't have the scroll or GR for it to be RE, other than that it's very similar. Are you sure it's British?

Good morning,

I would say RE, it is just so out of focus but all the elements are there.

I was wondering if that is because the definition is low.  I see a possible GvR, but it's very hard to be sure that there isn't a scroll near the bottom.
