Can anyone help with the upper arms badge please?

This is a photograph of my dear friends Mum and Dad on their wedding day.

John William Tait.

None of his family can remember what unit he served with.

I hope I am right in saying that he is wearing a good conduct stripe on his left sleeve, below that a wound bar.

His Dad passed away many years ago due to unremovable shrapnel in his head.

Every year they observe the 2 minute silence, and I want to help them find out more

and find his medal record card to see what he was awarded.

If you fabulous people can help, I will be eternally grateful.

 

Thanks

Graham

Hard to make out his insignia above the good conduct stripe. And looks like he has a patch on his shoulder.  Can you get a better resolution of the photo? Here are some trade insignia, thought maybe you having the photo could make one out. Good luck.

This is just a wild guess but trying to blow up the image which is mostly out of focus the first letter sort of looks like a "B".   The next letter it hard to tell but there is a BG trade badge worn on the cuff of the battle dress which stands for Bren Gunner.
