[talos]

Hi All

Do any of the forum members have any information please on the cloth patches worn by the 12 Bn, Somerset Light Infantry (West Somerset Yeo) and the 12 Bn, Royal Scots Fusiliers (Ayr & Lanark Yeo) serving with 74 (Yeomanry) Division.

Thank you.

Talos,

I have a blue diamond with superimposed broken spur I can't recall which Bde within 74th Div wore that colour. If I recall Bdes had coloured diamonds Black for Div troops. Then Green Blue Red? for each brigade.

Talos, just a quick update

229 Bde wore a blue diamond with white superimposed broken spur. Both your battalions served in this Bde.

230 Bde wore a red diamond

231 wore a green diamond

Hi Mark

Thank you very much for your reply.

As I understand it the brigade signs were worn on the one sleeve and the battalion signs were worn on the other.
