Identifying a cloth divisional badge - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

I'll be grateful for help in identifying what I believe is a WW2 cloth divisional badge. The badge is a witch on a broomstick (red) on a dark blue background.

Cheers, Jon

Hi Jon and welcome to the forum.The badge in question is the 2nd Anti-Aircraft Division of the ADGB. This unit was raised in 1936 and composed of TA A.A. units in the Midlands and the North of England.
Hoping this will help you.
Cheers
Jo

Jo,

Many thanks for the speedy response. Is ADGB air defence of Great Britain?(a guess on my part)

Jon, I should have been more explicit as ADGB and 2nd AA Div. I have included a very good link to a RA website which will give you the composition of the division.
