254th Indian Tank Brigade

[HMS-Troutbridge]

Interested for some clarification on this if people can help, originals I have seen of the badge for this unit show a red colouring to the triangle but several sources state a yellow background, can anyone help me sorting out this discrepancy?

The illustration above is upside down.

254 Indian Tk Bde's sign was a geometrical design in black set on a red inverted triangle , the design representing tank tracks and three drops of blood, significant of the Brigade motto, "Blood on the Tracks."

Many thanks for that, it seems a lot of people have got confused about this as other sources have it illustrated not only upside down but also yellow not red, I think I'll have to drop a couple of emails to people, thanks for clearing that up!

Hi, this is mine, I believe it should have a red stitch just below it on the uniform, Mike

Here's my example - sorry about the bluetack on the reverse! (very unprofessional!) Mike
