Hi All

I am trying to find info on the patches worn by the 125 (Lancashire Fusiliers) Bde of the division in Gallipoli. I know the 126 (East Lancashire) Bde wore green/white halved diamonds in different configurations and the 127 (Manchester) Bde wore yellow patches edged red with the battalion number above 'MANCHESTER' also in red but cant find no info worn by the the 1/5 - 1/8 Bns Lancashire Fusiliers. Can any of the members help ?.

Best regards

Men at Arms 'British Territorlal Units 1914-18' shows the 125th Brigade's patches as white on red diamonds with a diamond-within-a- diamond for HQ, 'LM' for light mortar and 5,7 and 8 for the respective Lancs battalions.

Hope this is useful.
