There were some cloth badges worn by British troops during WW2 however mostly rank or skill related. On google do a search for British or common wealth WW2 cloth badges.

Darren and Alan,
Thanks for the reply, helped alot. Not many pic's of uniforms but found the right shoulder patch and colors. Seems that they were not used to much in the field but want to add one to my name plate for dio on op/fo. Much thanks as I spent hours trying and got no-where on my own.
