An initial issue for 3 Division was made in the wrong colour. There is also a patch for the Canadian Army Training and Doctrine Centre and for NDHQ.

As you no doubt know, the latter are technically not "div" patches, but of course the former patch of 1 Canadian Corps and 1 Canadian Army. Personally, I'm thrilled we are using these formation patches. Any soldier in the U.S. 1st Infantry Division, 101st Airborne Division, etc. wears the SSI that have been in continuous use since those formations served - First World War in the former case and World War II in the latter. Kind of nice to now do the same here.
