Felix poppy pin badge, Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), 2013 (c). Yellow metal and enamel, with a pin back, manufacturer unknown, 2013 (c) Felix was adopted as the unofficial mascot of British Army counter-terrorism bomb disposal after a signaller misheard a ‘Phoenix’ call-sign for ‘Felix’. Felix appears on numerous pin and cloth badges to represent the various units and campaigns of the regiment. Proceeds from this badge went to ‘The William and Grace Trust’, which provides relief for serving or former members of the Royal Logistic Corps and others who are injured whilst undertaking counter terrorist bomb disposal duties, as well as dependants of RLC members.
