    Hi,
    As I'm sure many of you know Britain experimented with 'mixed' divisions between 1942 and 43, whereby one of the three infantry brigades in selected Infantry Divisions was dropped and replaced with an armoured brigade. What I'm trying to find out is what Arm of Service markings would the new armoured brigade have used?

    Did they retain their existing AOS markings, (a possibility as I understand most were independent brigades), or did the adopt the AOS markings of the brigade they'd replaced? If the latter, were they assigned AOS markings on the basis of their seniority, (e.g. red if they happened to be senior to the existing infantry brigades), or did they simply take on the markings of the brigade which had left, regardless of seniority?
    If anyone can point me to a source that can help as well I'd be very grateful.

    Any help greatly appreciated.
