Battle Patch - RF Battalion ID, Please
Is anyone able to ID which RF battalion this fusilier is from by way of a bit of battle patch recognition, please?:

Could be 10th or 13th Royal Fusiliers, 37th Div - who originally had a horse shoe-patch with points down, but the GOC ordered the patch with points up as of November 1916 and then later had them moved to the upper arm.

Could the bar under the horseshoe be a seniority bar and this Bn was senior in the brigade/Division?

More than likely as both were senior battalions in their inidividual Brigades - 10th Bn, were 111th Bde and 13th were 112th Bde, but I'm afraid I don't know the colouring.

Coloured patches
This has always been the problem with black and white photos, coloured patches can often only be given an aducated guess due to the lack of colour.
