Brockville Rifles were with 6th Div, Pacific Command, but this patching looks too light to be the Pacific Command green diamond, and looks too light to be Atlantic Command grey diamond either (although I see no connection with that command).
Bad assumptions and a bad guess on my part, but if this is a 'graduating class' photo, could this be unauthorised yellow B/N-Force patching on tropical dress prior to deployment? Sure wish they had colour film in Brockville in 1942.
A Clive Law question: since Brockville was in Military District 3 in 1942, was there any distinct patching for military districts?
