I am very proud of those that fell in Monty's Iron sides. There is never a day goes by that I do not think of them.
All of us had sleeve insignias. One of them was our company number. A white 49 on a blue square back ground. But that bears no relation to this.

That applied to all units. But none like the one in question. Stumps me!
Our insignia was Royal Engineers across the top of the sleeve in Navy and red. Then lower the red and black triangles of blood and Iron. Then the white 49 on a blue square and beneath that the Navy and red RE flash. Looked like a Christmas tree.
