Hi Griff

I have tried taking measurements from your improved resolution of Mike's photograph with the aim of discerning the size of the patch.

In his book C E Audax states they were 1.5 inches square. The ones I have, given me by a WO2, 14th/20th KH, are 1.75 inches square. The patch on the picture looks even larger so perhaps we are looking at a similar but different patch altogether on the "desert hat?"
