Can anyone tell me if the black cats of the 56th div were issued in matching pairs or not? I know it sounds silly but it has been bugging me as I don't know.
Combover Think about it - only the back of the "Black Cat" was shown neither right nor left handed - ergo - ---- no need for "matching pairs" Cheers
do you mean which way did the cat's tail show ? tail to the front or back of person when worn as arm insignia. ??? Googled & got 2 images with tail either side. to right http://miliblog.co.uk/wp-content/gallery/cloth-brit-pw-divisions/british-56-armoured-division-embroid.jpg to left http://miliblog.co.uk/wp-content/gallery/cloth-brit-pw-divisions/british-56-armoured-division-embroid.jpg
Gents As my avatar clearly shows: Cat's tail to the right, Battleaxe blade to the left Ron ex 78th & 56th Div
