Johnny1 Posted 31 July , 2011 Author Share Posted 31 July , 2011 Thanks for the information John, I was not sure of the Yellow horseshoe, is it the 37th Division? The 39th Division had a white square with three blue stripes, would it be a brigade patch? Anyway thanks once again for your help.

john gregory Posted 1 August , 2011 Share Posted 1 August , 2011 I have just noticed that the 1st/ Herts served in both the 37th & 39th Divs. Thats most likely why that the jacket has the 37th Div. flash on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted 1 August , 2011 Share Posted 1 August , 2011 Ahem the 'Golden' Horseshoe (not yellow if you don't mind) was the insignia of the 37th Division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
