Default 2nd Infantry Division smaller size

Hi friends

I have this woven FS.

The size is 3cm x 4cm

Would this be for shoulder or putting on puggaree?

Your thoughts and opinions please.

cheers

Phill

They are all normally intended for the shoulder, but some were apparently worn as a Pagri Flash as well with various modifications such as applied backings, poppers or hooks, which, to make matters confusing, were also for use on shirts for easy removal. There were none specifically intended as Pagri Flashes to my knowledge.

Thanks CB

Here is a comparison with another I have in my collection. Hence why I thought the smaller one was used for puggaree.

Any thoughts are they theatre made examples?

Could the smaller badge be the post WWII 25th Infantry Brigade version of the old 2nd Infantry Division badge?
