Help Identify Military Badge

Anyone able to tell what regiment this badge belongs to? Below is a photograph of one of my relatives (great uncle?) I don't know much about him and was hoping to find out anything I can. Cheers, Rob

I reckon its the cap badge of the Royal Green Jackets

They're now part of one the British Army's new multibattalion reigments named "The Rifles" who were amalgamted from a number of different rifle units including the RGJ. Most people know them because of "Sharpe"
