May I ask you what edition fo
Heraldy in War is yours? Mine is a first edition, dated 1946 and the only device shown as the 1st Armoured Division badge is the charging rhino with the pig corkscrew tail. Since info on the division is just up to the Tunisian campaign, I have been led to think that the badge could be earlier than Italy...
