unknown WW1 formation patch (battle patch)

[DougSA]

I would be most grateful if any insights on what this battle / formation patch could be?

Shown in black and grey, but presumably was in colour.

In use circa 1919.

It’s as you say a 1919 Army of Occupation patch. I’ll see if I can find any more information about it

Here we are - some information from a previous thread on the subject https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ad.php?t=39799

It indicates Southern Division of BAOR, with a blue semi-circle over a coloured bar (for brigade) and a series of 1, 2 or 3 discs/dots underneath for battalion. Orange bar evidently for Warwickshire Brigade.

It would be interesting to know the other colours for other brigades/regiments.
