Regiment Identification - Possible Parachute Regiment

Can anyone tell me what the blue cloth badge is, in the photo I posted further up this pages. It's in the tin, top left. Blue background and a silver/white clenched fist with chevrons under it? The whole things looks like some sort of gauntlet. I have no idea where this came from or what it is?

Thanks WTID45

20th Armoured Division. I suspect this is not WW2 and my guess is that it is possibly 50's/60's. My mother was a forces school teacher around this time. I know she spent time on Army bases in Germany. I think we have photos of her riding around on the top of a tank with her class of children in the Dortmund area, on a base where my Uncle was also stationed at the same time. My guess is it comes from her time here or possibly my uncle's time here. This is my uncle who retired a Lieutenant Colonel, not the one that was in Arnhem. Although if the badge is older it might be that my uncle had some part in the armoured division. His wartime record is also unknown to me at the moment. I know he joined a Canadian Cavelry Regiment in the 1930's and transfered to the British Army around the outbreak of WW2 but into what regiment I do not know. When he retired he was in the Royal Army Service Corp and was also in REME at some point, but as proviously mentioned he was in at least 3 other regiments as well.

To those kind and patient people who gave me help about 8 months ago with my grandfather's photos (identification and information extraction), I have now recieved his War records from the MOD. There is a lot of information from 1940 through to 1949 however as I think most of you have a specific interest in the Parachute Regiment and possibly Inidan and Burma I will limit the information to this period.

He enlisted into 8/RWK but seems to have moved about a bit and there is a ref' to 70 RWK as well as 2/RWK.

He departs the UK 10th June 1944 for india the ref reads "Draft RXJFQ". What does RXJFQ mean? Is it a ship reference?
He "Disembarked Bombay 11th July 1944" still in "2/RWK" "Draft RXJFQ" and on the same day was Taken on Strength " 4 Coy 4 Wing GHQ(1) BBRC. The place is difficlut to read but looks like Deolag or Deelati? What is BBRC?
On the same day also is written "T.o.s. x (io) (b) list" I know the TOS = taken on strength and what it means but the rest is very cryptic.

Many thanks for any help - RL
