Default Unknown TRFs / patches
Would anybody be able to help identify the attached TRFs / patches recently acquired. I have had a look in the albums and a couple of reference books I have but found nothing on them. Any help is much appreciated. Regards. Dudley

1st one: short lived hq(?) patch used in Iraq.

2nd: Something to do with the Isle of Wight, but not familiar to me. (possibly scouts/guides)

3rd: Has to be a medal ribbon of some sort.

Agree the second one is Isle of Wight, Vectis is the Roman name for the island, the Castle is Carisbrooke, but what for? Regards Mark

The ribbon is in the colours of the Nigerian flag, which may or may not be relevant. The Nigerian 1960 Independence Medal. [see here: http://www.medals.org.uk/nigeria/nigeria-ribbons.htm]

The 1st patch is the HQ (SW) patch worn in Basra c2005. The first pattern one was introduced on TELIC 2 in 2003-4. I don't know how long it lasted before this one.

The first badge is the second pattern for the MULTI NATIONAL DIVISION (SOUTH EAST) 2005, a Lamassu, or Assyrian Lion.
