GPO Cap Badge Pre-1969
In 1969, the GPO, a government department since 1600, was converted to a statutory corporation. Uniform and insignia were changed. The postman's personal number had been incorporated into the cap badge. After 1969, there was a yellow metal cap badge and a separate enamelled chest badge indicating the postman's number and parent office. Although worn up until the introduction of the new uniform, this badge is surmounted with a King's crown.
