I knew they were Horse artillery, but where can you get all the other information from. I am straining my eyes to see a dot dash.

Thanks for that!  Cool

The dot dash is supposed to be the top bit of a one and a seven!

There was plethora of divisional signs that appeared during WW1, and some are a bit more obscure than others!
