Pete, I've looked into this and can't find a definitive answer for you. The British system of battle patches is very complicated. They could be worn on the shoulder, helmet, back, or some combination thereof. The shapes and colors could vary by unit, as well. For example, the Gloucestershire Regt. wore a shoulder and helmet marking, with the shape indicating the brigade (square, triangle, circle,) and the color (yellow, blue, red, etc) indicating the battalion. Pretty simple, except the Leicestershire Regt. used the same system, in reverse. The brigade was indicated by color (yellow, blue, red, in order of seniority), while the battalion was ID'ed by shape (circle, rectangle, square, triangle), and these were shoulder mounted. I just can't ID the KC infantry by the patch alone. I think KC ID'ed them when they were released so maybe it is just a matter of finding the correct "Dispatches" when KC announced them. -- Al
