I have also looked for the other Battns eg 18 and 21 KRRC, 20 DLI, 23 Middlesex and I have had no luck there either. JG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Posted 12 November , 2011 Share Posted 12 November , 2011 I was looking for the Battalion battle patches not Brigade signs, thats why I could not find anything !!! JG Hello John G, I also had a look to see if I had anything regarding Bn signs. However, I also found nothing. According to the information that I have it would appear that the 26th Bn, R. Fus, would have worn the 124th. Bde, flash with a number 2 on it beings as they are, or, were the second Bn, in the Bde,. Regards Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny1 Posted 14 November , 2011 Author Share Posted 14 November , 2011 Hi JG and Arthur, thanks for the information, I've found the 19th Middlesex had a light blue square, the 12th East Surrey had a green circle and the 21st KRRC had a yellow shoulder title shape with a triangle shape coming down from the centre of it, so the green, red and yellow would seem to be right. Once again, many thanks. Regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
