ID help with Artillery patches.
I would appreciate any information on these Artillery patches. They appear to differ from WWII period 3rd Searchlight Regt versions and appear identical to later Ulster Battery TA patches. These came with the South East Asia Command/Indian 15th Corps patches I enquired about earlier. They appear to be made of silk or rayon.
Thanks in advance, Tom. |

I've done a bit more research myself and see that the 8th (Belfast) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment RA were attached to the Indian 15 Corps. Can anyone confirm this patch was worn by this unit in WWII?

Just found the 8th Belfast HAA Regt tribute website by Lennon Wylie which shows this patch worn on the 8th's WWII bush hats so I'm happy.
Tom, |
