Tyneside Chinaman Posted 5 March , 2010 Author Share Posted 5 March , 2010 Ha Ha I thinkl I have worked it out from Chappells British Battle insignia, 9/R Sussex 73 Brigade 24 Division. I am right? or will I be shot down in flames. replies please John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_H Posted 6 March , 2010 Share Posted 6 March , 2010 John I am sure you are right and the unit is 9th Royal Sussex. The rectangle was yellow and the small diamond above was a company i/d. These company i/d patches worn by units in the 24th Division above their battalion signs were sometimes cut as diamonds and sometimes as four-pointed stars. The colouring remains the same throughout : A company - blue B company - green C company - red D company - yellow Yours Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
