Default East Anglian District

I am looking for a good source of information (who wore what etc) on East Anglian District patches (Vikings head on red or blue background)

Many thanks in advance for any leads

Smile East Anglian badges

John, the white viking's head on red shield was the East Anglian District 2nd pattern formation sign, the yellow viking's head on blue shield was worn by the East Anglian training Brigade groups, I hope this is of some help.

Excellent and many thanks

Do you have any time periods for this and would this include the East Anglian Brigade please?

We wore the Red patch Viking when stationed at the Military Hospital Colchester circa 1960 then changed ? 1962 to the Gold crown and arrows on blue background of East Anglia District. We preferred our Viking!
