AirBorne Officer Beret question,

[GCG1964]

Greetings Forum members.

I have just purchased this Beret from a fellow forum member.

Private Purchase named to Capt Woods and dated 1944 with ink on the label.

It may have been presented for comments previously but I was unable to find any thread on it.

My question is, Artillery or Engineers that has 9 flames on the Bomb.
The last owner can't remember which, and I'm not familiar enough with it either.

Thanks in advance, Graham.
