And do you know if these badges/patches were always placed on that location of the arm - and if it was common practice to do so in the British army during WW1?

Look out for a copy of Osprey Men at Arms 182 - British Battle Insignia (1) 1914-18 by Mike Chappell.
Cloth battle insignia was worn on both uniform sleeves, shoulder straps and the back of the neck and also painted on helmets.
