It was suggested in the Formation Sign that the different colours of this sign may possibly represent the various levels of command as used on staff officers armlets-if that was the case the blue and black sign might have been worn by Brigade Headquaters but this was only a possibility.
P.B.

The blue on black version is variously described as a 'rare brigade sign' or - and this gets my vote in the absence of photographic proof - Wrens in NI.

I see that 2 examples of the blue on black sign were in the Grace Gibson collection sold by Bonhams on 10/8/04 and there was a suggestion in the catalogue that the sign might have been worn by WRNS personnel.
What a pity that Grace did not produce a book based on her cloth collection. P.B.
