Default Wanted 13th (Western )Division formation patch

Wanted a formation badge/patch for "13th (Western) Division" WW1 1914-18
Pictorial of a "Horseshoe" . I think a square patch with a black horseshoe, don't know background colour (any info/help on this please).
PM me if you have one for sale.
There is a picture of a black horseshoe for the "British Army 13TH (WESTERN) DIVISION, from the 1914 -18 Great War Gallipoli and Mesopotamia campaigns" on a John Player & Sons cigarette card issued in 1925.
However the card does not show the patch shape or background colour.

(Have repeated this Ad on the classified ad's just to make sure i use the correct forum)

It would appear that the sign was just a horseshoe sewn directly onto the tunic .

P.B.

There was a thread related to a complete set of embroidered WW1 formation signs, which included the 13th Div horseshoe:
