I obtained a couple of UK/Commonwealth Arty insignia over the years. Nothing spectaculare but I really like the "Ubique Quo Fas Et Gloria Ducunt" design.

Here are the few artillery formation signs I have (other than AA). Top are the 7th Army Group, R.A. Middle Left is the 18th Training Brigade, R.A. Middle right is the Coastal Artillery Training Center, SW District. The others aren't artillery, the bottom left being the Territorial Army Troops and the bottom right being the Army Department Fleet.

The OSONS winged dagger formation badge was for the DEU and represented the Special Service Force, a brigade sized formation which was based around the Canadian Airborne Regiment. Following the Somalia Affair, the Canadian Airborne regiment was disbanded in 1995 and the brigade was renamed 2 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group. The first badge is the CF/DEU SSF badge like you have, second one is the SSF badge worn on the camouflaged parachute smock.

What's the meaning of "DEU" in this context, please? Awesome patches.

PROUD KRAUT - In Post #2, are thoe a bunch of older bullion patches along the top? Also, what is that huge shield that is quartered and has a radio tower, etc. on it? Cool design!

 

Really like the two embroidered-on-green patches in the first post. The one that says "Gun" and the side view of the cannon. Super nice!

 

Thanks for sharing!
