I was interested in Mike's comment about the sign for the CATC.

Strictly speaking wartime Training Centres and units were not permitted to wear any form of distinctive sign and there is much evidence on the War Office files at Kew showing official resistance and reluctance to authorise them. I doubt therefore that the sign ever received authority for wear other than from the Centre itself hence the lack of recognition of its similarity to the sign of 61st Division.

The attachment shows it worn.
