I recently re-read Gaylor's book who states that the badge was designed circa 1916 when the regt was in the Middle East by a SSM White.
The 1/1st Bn departed UK in Oct 15 wearing the IY badge. (see photo).
The second photo is the regtly designed badge worn by a member of 2/1st Bn who were in UK. The wing tips and voids match the 2nd pattern badge.
