Darknight (DC) Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 Hello, I am currently searching for any and all info on British sleeve insignia for each of the regiments/battalions that fought in Northern Europe. I have spent several days web-surfing in my attempts to be as complete as possible (and anyone who has taken a peek at the Canadian sleeves I did, which can be found at Michael DOROSH's wonderful site, will know that I like to be complete) but have only been able to find a very limited amount of information about this topic. I am hoping that there are several people out there with some of the info to fill in the holes before I start earnestly working on the sleeve art (I am also seriously considering doing the American Divisions when I get the time). What I am looking for is info as in the following example: 7th Seaforth Highlanders 3" square tartan patch 15th Div Patch (2) scarlet [inf] arm-of-service strips or even small pictures of the sleeve insignia if it is available. The regiments/battalions (including MG and Armour)that I need info about are attached to the following divisions: Guards, 7th Armoured, 11th Armoured, 79th Armoured, 3rd Infantry, 43rd Infantry, 49th Infantry, 50th Infantry, 51st Infantry, 52nd Infantry, 53rd Infantry, 59th Infantry I already have complete info on the 15th Infantry division and various other battalions but the more info I can put together, the better the mod offering will be. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn-Sykes Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 hmmm... have you seen this page? this is the same site but has a better directory at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknight (DC) Posted October 24, 2001 Author Share Posted October 24, 2001 Actually, I had come across that page in my web-travels...but AFAIK, it only provides "Blazer" crests, not Sleeve Insignia (these are 2 different things I think). I have found sites with examples of just the cloth regimental shoulder titles as well, but the problem is to figure out the configuration of the regimental title/tartan/divisional patch/arm of service stripes for each battalion.

Michael Dorosh Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 I still haven't gotten around to ordering Volume I of The British Soldier - Volume II has complete OOB info; I understand volume I has sleeve insignia. Have you been able to find any insignia that I don't already have at the Tommy site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknight (DC) Posted October 25, 2001 Author Share Posted October 25, 2001 I found a couple in the Guards Division, a MG Battalion, & 1 regt of the 50th Div (other than those you already have)....it's quite frustrating. I figure with all the WWII knowledge on this board, there must be some other small pieces of info that can be brought to light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknight (DC) Posted October 26, 2001 Author Share Posted October 26, 2001 I'm not sure about the rules for "bumping".... but I'm still looking for more info and with more than 7000 members on this board, there has to be some more info available.....
