These oval badges were worn by NCOs and denoted their particular professional skill, in this case a cartographer. It would have been worn on the upper left arm.
It is machine embroidered yellow (perhaps a cotton/rayon mix as it has a sheen to it) on a navy blue wool broadcloth ground, with a rayon mesh backing. It measures 8.5cm long and is in slightly worn condition, being a little frayed round the edges.
