I'd like to wear my wings and unit "badge" on my TOS not only to show my respect but because I'm proud to have served (and because I'm an old cob and that's what old cobs do). I don't think it violates any rules of etiquette or decorum but...no regimental hackle.

Wouldn't a sprig be appropriate under the circumstances?
No need to wear a hackle Royal Scots didn't neither did Argyles
