Default 78th Division WW2

Hi all,
Just got this back from the framers and thought I would share it.
My tribute to my fathers wartime service with the British 78th Division 1942 - 46, 1st Army, 8th Army, North Africa, Sicily, Italy, Austria.
Hope you enjoy.

Eric

Beautiful. Well done. How did you make/get the Divisional cloth insignia?

Cheers, Tom

Default 78th division

Hi Tom and Chris,

Thanks for the comments.

With regard to how I made the representation of the divisional badge I have an original Battleaxe shoulder flash which I scanned to my computer, blew up in size, printed out, cut out, pinned to the yellow felt and then cut out the final piece. I think it worked well.

Again my appreciation for the comments.

Eric
