Formation patches of the Canadian Army
After the re-introduction of Formation Badges by the
British Army in 1941, the Canadian Army followed suit. The 2nd Canadian Infantry Division used a "battle patch" system of geometric shapes identifying individual brigades and battalions, similar to that used by the 2nd Canadian Division in the First World War, during the 1941-42 period, but abandoned this system after the Dieppe Raid.[1]
Other Canadian divisions used plain formation patches, and separate unit titles.".[2][3]
