I have no record of any regimental (ie Royal Sussex) insignia being worn by 109 (Royal Sussex) LAA Regt, but I should be very surprised if they did not wear something on BD to mark their roots in the Royal Sussex - a small flash in regimental colours of blue and orange possibly?
109 LAA Regt was formed on 1 Jan 42 by the conversion of 7 R Sussex and consisted of 357. 358 and 359 LAA Btys. It was a 21 Army Group unit and served in Normandy and beyond. It was placed in suspended animation on 9 Mar 46 and disbanded on 1 Jan 47. Prior to conversion 7 R Sussex was in 37 Inf Bde in 12 (Eastern) Inf Div and will have served in the BEF Apr-Jun 40. 37 Inf Bde (including) 7 R Sussex) became an Indep Inf Bde in Jul 40 and finally disbanded in Nov 41.
