Default Unknowk WW1 British Cloth Unit Badge/Battle Patch for ID
Can anyone please advise what unit this Unit Badge/Battle Patch relates to please. It measures exactly 2" tall and 2" across. I acquired it along with the WW1 medal ribbons in the picture. It has been worn and there are a few remnants of cotton still attached to the patch. I'm pretty sure it'll be in Waring's pamphlet but I can't locate my copy !

If it helps, it originated in the Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire area.

Thanks in advance

It will be offered for sale once identified.

Possibly Wiltshire? Very similar to the maroon Wilts pagri flashes as worn on the FSH.

From 1917, when they joined the 75th Division, the 1/4th Wiltshire Regt wore a red Maltese cross on the back of the jacket just below the collar and as a pagri badge on both sides of the helmet.
