Default Polish 2nd Armoured Division

Posted this in the Foreign Armies section a couple of days ago but no response so though I'd try it here.

In his book Polish Armour (Osprey 1982) Krys Barbarksi notes that the armoured regiment and supporting services of this division wore coloured strips below their formation sign to indicate the wearer's regiment or arm of service. I can't trace who wore the strip shown which is in two shades of blue.

Suggestions please.

Jon

Mike,

Much appreciated. They don't turn up in the literature I have consulted so thank you.

Jon
