Has anyone got any pictures (scans) of the hour glass type patches we can see, they seem to be few & far between especially the one with the maple leaf.

Here's one I have in my collection, I think it's the 36th Tank Brigade. It was given to me by a friend of the family, he served in the Highland Light Infantry and the Scottish Horse. I've also included scans of the other badges he gave me.

If you are interested, the cloth badge, white saltire on blue rectangle is the fs for South Highland District, Scottish Command. (Just in case you were wondering). Nice sign quite scarce.

Believed to be 1st Assault Regt, RACR/RE, 25th Tank Brigade, sadly no maple leaf... on Economy Pattern BD Blouse.

Cracking badge, you make me most envious,

Post May 1944 variation, when 25th Army Tank Brigade were presented with and permitted to wear the Canadian Maple Leaf for the support they gave to the 1st Canadian Infantry Division in their successful efforts to break through the Adolf Hitler line.
