Blackadder - Upper Arm Sleeve Insignia/Patch identification?
Hi all,
First time posting - hopefully some one can help me out identifying this as I'm very much the novice! In Blackadder goes Forth, which I imagine a lot of us have seen - in most episodes when Captain Blackadder and Private Baldrick are wearing their army issue uniform jackets - they bare a "red I (capital i)" insignia on their upper arm/shoulder sleeve. It's a sewn-on patch (see photos, below). Because I'm new to this, I've been trying my best to research what this signifies online and in books, but without the correct lingo sometimes it's hard to define. From my muddled stumblings - I believe it to perhaps be a Divisional/Battalion patch, or flash - signifying perhaps what Division/Battalion the boys are supposed to be in on the show. However - it'd be great if someone with much better knowledge of this than I, could please tell me; 1) What the patch is supposed to signify - their division, brigade, something else entirely? etc Thanks for baring with me!
