Guest garyjd Posted 8 December , 2004 Share Posted 8 December , 2004 Sirs, I've been unable to locate information and images on Australian patches and badges on the net, but very little info on New Zealand units. I am looking for any division, Brigade, or Battalion patches or badges worn by the 2nd and 4th battalions of the 3rd New Zealand Rifle Brigade. The period I'm looking at is the liberation of Le Quesnoy on November 4, 1918. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.~Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_H Posted 8 December , 2004 Share Posted 8 December , 2004 Gary NZRB Battalion patches were as follows (worn on both sleeves) 1st - black square 2nd - black diamond 3rd - eqilateral triangle 4th - inverted equilateral triangle served together to form 3rd Briagade NZ Div and Brigade HQs troops wore an 8 pointed black star. For Australian patches see the colour plates in Vol III of the Australian Official History. I think that is available online on the Australian War Memorial website. There are plenty of photos of Aussie flashes on that site - go to the collections database and search in Military Heraldry using "colour patch". good luck Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
