Hi Petr, you question seemed to have been missed getting answered.

Yes, the cuff title could be worn on the summer HBT uniform as it was a national decoration.

Cheers, Ade.

It would not be commonly worn on the HBT uniform. But it was allowed.

Having been a re-enactor for 31 years now, I would always recommend portraying the "norm" rather than wearing something which was seldom seen. I think your CO is correct.

Cheers, Ade.
