There have been several discussions about the grey tones and translating that to colours. It is known that earlier images used different chemical compositions and that could throw off a grey tone "translation". Please see this thread http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...ad.php?t=58688. On the face of it, the patch appears to be either 3 Div or 1 Div.
The contributors to this thread have given you a lot of leads to pursue. Please let us know how you make out. |
Thank you Bill for the link- I have gained so much great information here. I have the papers for my GGF which shows him in the 3rd Div. I also found his brother who was killed in action in France during the 'hundred days' and where his memorial is there.
I cannot thank this forum enough for the wealth of information- this part of my family has truly come to life!
