1st Armoured Division or 2nd Armoured Brigade charging rhino
Hello everybody! In my collection I have a 1944 dated Canadian made Battledress blouse badged with the sign of the 1st Armoured Division or 2nd Armoured Brigade, a charging rhino, and the RTR arm badge, only on the right sleeve. Is there any evidence of the charging rhino sign having been worn during WWII? Or any evidence of the fact that it was a common practice for the 1st Armoured Division to wear their divisional sign ONLY on the right arm? I have got in my collection a BD blouse badged to a corporal of the 10th Royal Hussars sporting just one "standing" rhino sign on the right arm... Thank you for your knowledge!

Charging Rhino in 1944?
Well, from this item on sale on ebay it looks like the charging rhino was already in use at the end of 1944: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lessons-F...IAAOSws~pcEesB

1st Armd. May 1947-September 1947...a new badge for 2nd.Armd.Bgd. Bays, 9th Lancers, 4th & 6th.RTR....all to do with our move to Palestine from Italy.....Only the 9th. got there..the rest of us sat in Egypt until September 1947 when we did our Farewell Parade at Quassassin...as it had been decided that we (the Brits) left Palestine in 1948.
This was a new badge although I've seen it described in many different ways by dealers. |
