Default Ignoramus seeks help with red/white badge

Hello,

This will be a very easy one for you guys.

I saw a Lt-Colonel of the Duke of Lancaster's with a left-arm patch divided diagonally into red and white, under a downward-pointing dagger or sword.

What does this patch signify?

Thanks!

I agree with Mike but I think the sword should point to 10:00 o clock to represent the North West.
