Hi, a friend at work was showing me his fathers insignia the other day and this was one of the badges which I am struggling to identify. Hi father was 12th Devon's, Airborne and was on the gliders in 1944, but this badge does not seem to fit with any of that, please can you help? Many thanks James
HI This is the badge of 77th Infantry Division British Formation Signs 77th Infantry Division (United Kingdom) - Wikipedia Gus
77th Infantry Division. Composed mainly of battalions of west county regiments, the badge depicts King Arthur's sword, Excalibur, held aloft above the water.
From the links above 77th Infantry Division (December 1941 – December 1942) 203rd Infantry Brigade[35] Main article: 203rd Infantry Brigade 12th Battalion, Devonshire Regiment (until September 1942) Do you have his service records which would tell you the date he joined, hopefully somewhere between Dec 41 and Dec 42 TD
Hi All, Thank you very much for this information, I knew this was the place to ask, and once again you have come up trumps. James
