Can someone help please?

Looking for information on uniform formation signs of 36th ulster division, especially The 9th Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers

Colour and shape worn 1st day of The Somme & whether it was also painted on helmets

Thank you in advance 

Geoff

Yes. It is very blurred , but I thought 9th Inniskillings were in the top right “Red-Yellow”. 
 

Getting online access to the diary itself might be clearer.

Hmmm now I’m puzzled 🤷🏻‍♂️

Forum member @poona guardis likely to have the definitive answer.

Those shown above are dated - Original Division 1914 and those shown in the May 1917 36th Division diary may answer the original question? 
David Bilton’s  ‘Badges of Kitcheners Army’ notes the yellow rectangle worn on both sleeves touching the shoulder strap. No info on painted insignia.

The Somme Association image is correct and no helmet markings were worn.

I have tried to trace the image the LONG LONG TRAIL is supposed to lead to but can't find it. Does anyone know the exact location?
