This might be of interest as GHQ Liaison Regiment (Phantom) was part of Recce Corps and a large number of men adopted the Recce Corps cap badge.

GHQ Liaison Regiment: A Nominal Roll with Short Biographies by ASHER PIRT in Biographies & Memoirs

In the book as much detail as I can find on ex Phantoms from interview, the literature and primary source material. In some cases there is very little detail but in others especially concerning those who were awarded decorations and honours there is a great deal.

 

Thanks for posting the link.

Cheers
