WW1 Divisional Badges/Patches
« on: Friday 18 March 11 10:29 GMT (UK) »
Amazing site...I have 1/32 of the original cards...Double click on the thumbnail for a nice big pic!

These were worn on the upper arm and sometimes the back of the tunic.

One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.
