The 82nd Assault Squadron [RE] was a unit of that division. Possibly a theatre made unit patch? The 79th also saw action in NW Europe.

Hello Peter, thank you for the hint: I hadn't noticed that the shape and the composition of the the flash are very close to that of the 79th Armoured Division sign. Still in order to be RE one would suppose that the backing of the bull's head should be blue, whereas here is black, rather.
