Default Some unknown patches.
Hello
Have these in my British insignia box, would like an ID on them as I have not found the exact patches in any reference material i have.

Usually looking through old threads here on the forum will help alot, so i have come along way of getting the British collection sorted out.

Crossed Kukris with Crown is usually described as Royal Gurkha Rifles sport/track suit badge.

Bottom right on desert dpm is usually described as "Joint Force HQ"
