Hello,
It purports to be the WW1 Div Sign of the 8th (Ardwick)(TF) Bn. The Manchester Regiment, when part of the 42nd East Lancashire Regiment, worn at various times on the upper arm and the pagri. However, It is a modern fake. regards

In printed form was this not also worn by 8 Manchester (TA) in the 1950s? John Waring identified it as such (JW1/725). Mike

Yes it was and also on the Helmet Cover in the 1960's and 1970's in white on green a reflection on the other WW1 version of the '8' badge when the Bn. was transferred to the 126th Brigade on 19.2.1918. regards.

The attached from " North West Territorial" of September 1994 might be of interest.
P.B.

I have never found any evidence that the Liver Bird (as on the badge on the red triangle )and as mentioned in the article in the North West Territorial, was ever worn by the Kings Liverpools as an arm badge in WW2.
Would be pleased to hear if anyone has more information. P.B.

Red 8
Did the red 8 badge come only in a printed form, John.

No, the printed version came after WW2, prior to that they were both in 2 part felt and then embroidered.
