I recently purchased a Pattern 49 BD jacket with the post 1950 Black Cat with sword of the 56th Division, the tail goes to the rear. It is shown here:
The jacket is dated 1952 and it does seem a late usage of the P49 as the Queen's Regiment did not come into existence until December 31, 1966 if I am informed correctly. It is named (I prefer not to say to whom), but he was a member of D Company.
Can anyone tell me if the Crown pierced by the arrows on the right sleeve is the flash of the Queen's Regiment?
Thanks in advance for any information and corrections.
