Default Battle patch

Hi all
Interesting patch offered recently on eBay.
Described as railway troops.
What do others think it is?
A little quiz

If your image was rotated 45 degrees, it would look like HQ 2 Aust Div to me. Mike

If you sit it on it's corner it looks a lot like a FGH patch.

It is definitely not a Canadian Railway Troops patch.
As Ron says, it is likely a FGH patch. The Fort Garry's also wore a Wolseley / sun helmet and this may be a pugaree patch (dating from the inter-war period).

That's what I was thinking. Thanks for the confirmation.
Thanks
