WWI unknown colour patch
 

Does anyone know what unit this colour patch is for?

A lovely sharp image from a photographer in Pontypridd, south Wales

Thanks.

Hm, tricky from that angle. It appears to be a 3rd Div ellipse, but the way it's divided doesn't quite add up. It could also be a distorted 4th Div AASC circle, divided diagonally blue and white.

I really appreciate you attempting to answer this from such an awkward angle. Thank you.

Always happy to have a go, Jerry. The more I look at it the more I think it's 4th Div AASC.

To my eye there seems to be straight base line at 90 degrees to the colour separation. Maybe a tall rectangular shape?

Oz.

I tend to agree - so should we be looking in 5 Div (Infantry) patches? Mike

Looks circular or oval divided vertically to me.

In my references I cannot see a single 3 Div or 4 Div patch that has a vertical colour division. Assuming that one of the colours is white, 32 Bn, 56 Bn and 60 Bn (all 5 Div, all vertically divided) remain possibilities (to me at least!) Mike

I believe this is the correct interpretation. The darker colour is definitely a half-circle.

I'd go with that, diagonal rather than vertical division.

Thanks to all for contributing, it is appreciated.
