3 Infantry Division Insignia

3 Infantry Division had its own system of Insignia badges for the RA units attached to them and it was used throughout the war. The system used a very dark blue (almost black) diamond with a red number to indicate the artillery unit. It was worn on both sleeves below the Arm of Service Strip. There were 2 exceptions to this system. 76 (Highland) Field Regiment who had their own style of badge in three different patterns over the years. 92 (Loyals) Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment who didn’t wear the badge in any form. This was presumably because they were already wearing their own regimental insignia in that position when they joined the 3 Infantry Division. The number allocated to them was probably “7” as LAA Regiments didn’t join Divisions until 1942.
