It was cavalry and yeomanry practice that these arm badges were only worn on the right arm which raises the question as to what was worn on the patch on the other arm which is in any case of a different shape.

The Westminster Dragoons served with 79th Armoured Division as a flail tank regiment from October 1943 until the end of the war.

Could the patch on the left arm have been the backing for a trade badge of some nature - an oval wreath containing a letter - even if worn unofficially? Mike
