Default 40 Infantry Division

An unusual version for printing type of the formation sign
It was blue on yellow cloth instead of yellow Bantam Cock on dark blue cloth.

Thumbs up 3 RTR

Dear Jon,
Thanks for your sharing ! Very nice example showing the local hand embroidered pattern of the 40th Division formation sign. An important piece for 50's.

Best regards,

Bruno

I reckon it's quality not quantity that counts - after all with these hand embroidered signs there are an infinite number of detailed variations. What you need to find now are a pair of those smaller SkE signs - all of which have curiously muted colours. Mike
