Hello,

Unfortunately there is an error in the layout of this chapter...
I've controlled hundred times this book but i don't have seen this... Error is human.
Thanks to have ask this question, it will be corrected in the next edition.

The correct chaptering is :

- 21st Army Tank Brigade = yellow diabolo (1939 Pattern) + black diabolo on split shield yellow/red and yellow/green (1940-42 Pattern) + blue diabolo with red devil on yellow circle (1944 Pattern) which is also 21st Armoured Brigade (1945).

- 24th Army Tank Brigade / 24th Armoured Brigade = blue diabolo

- 25th Tank Brigade = black diabolo (with Mapple Leaf for 1944 Pattern)

- 25th Armoured RE Brigade = black diabolo on red/blue shield

I don't have any pictures or documents about these last badges, they are only described in a few famous books like Cole/Waring/Davis references. If you find something to confirm this, i'm always interested too !

Thanks for your interest.
