79th A.A. Brigade

[Peter Brydon]

Can anyone please tell me if this post war Liverpool formation which had its Headquarters at Woolton had a formation sign and if so what the design was ?

Thanks in anticipation.

P.B.

As far as I know all the AA Bdes wore the badge of AA Cmd.

It might be worth checking the ORBAT of (your local - HQ was in Runcorn?) 96th AGRA (AA)(TA) in case AA Bde HQs (TA) were subordinate to AGRAs? Mike
