Default Unidentified Brodie Division Patch

Hi all, I'm doing some volunteer work at our local museum and they have a division marked Broadie helmet on display. I can't find it in my Canadian sources so perhaps it is a British division. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Greg

I would venture Signals (White over Blue) 2nd Canadian Division, 1st WW. The CII on a blus patch was 1stWW div sign.

Jo, that has to be a record for the fastest reply! Thanks!

The 2nd Div makes sense but I can't find a reference for the Signals.

Hi Greg, Jo has the id. Signals colours (the corps colours) are white and blue. This is likely a signaller attached to the HQ of 2 Division or maybe one of the brigade HQ's in the division.
