wainfleet Posted 23 February , 2012 Share Posted 23 February , 2012 Bob Don't write yours off yet. The colours were different for different brigades. A red butterfly on blue certainly exists (I have one) - could the grey be faded blue? Regards, W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wainfleet Posted 27 February , 2012 Share Posted 27 February , 2012 Photos attached of a 19th Division badge. It may not help an awful lot, but I have had about three of these through my hands over the years and all were slightly different. The colour of yours looks like "French grey". Any chance of posting a photo of the back? There is often a surprising amount to be learned from the backing material. Add: I'm now wondering if this is a bit of "horizon blue" and therefore WW1 French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tape Posted 28 February , 2012 Author Share Posted 28 February , 2012 pic of back attached,some kind of paper. i don't think all ww1 divs had a karki background so being blue it dosen't have to be french. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankee Snaffles Posted 11 March , 2012 Share Posted 11 March , 2012 For what it's worth here is the 19th. Div. insignia. Seen a number of different color schemes and am on the lookout for one for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interested Posted 12 April , 2018 Share Posted 12 April , 2018 I'm resurrecting quite an old thread, but hopefully some of the posters are still active. Attached is a photograph of a Players cigarette card from the Divisional Badges series, showing the 19th (Western) Division emblem. I'd like to know what it said on the back, can anyone help? Also, it is blue rather than red, is this accurate? Lastly, can anyone tell me where on the uniform would the divisional badge be worn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
