WELCH REGIMENT CLOTH SHOULDER TITLE

[BROOKIES]

Does anyone know why this cloth shoulder title is white on black instead of the usual white on red

I believe that this was adopted in 1945 in Italy by 1 Welch when serving in 61 Inf Bde, 6 Armd Div (presumably prompted by the title worn earlier in the same Division by 3 Welsh Guards).

Thanks for that Mike.

That ties in with it coming from a BD blouse from an old soldier who served in Italy.

Do you have an image of the blouse?

Sorry went years ago as only interested in the shoulder title and it was a little beaten up.
