Any ideas on this patch?
Hopefully its attached. My dad was with British Troops Austria (Yellow Cross on white shield ca. 1952/53) and also Korea 1953 with the Commonwealth Peacekeeping force. I'm wondering if this patch is connected, only just found it separately from everything else I had already found

It is the printed formation sign for the Midland Training Brigade and the Roman numerals represent the infantry regiments:
VI = Royal Warwickshire Regiment X = Royal Lincolnshire Regiment XVII = Royal Leicestershire Regiment XLV = Sherwood Foresters Regiment Existed from 1948-1958 when it became the Forester Brigade. Tim
