49th (West Riding) Division 'Polar Bears'
I have a particular interest in Polar Bears as my Grandad served in 1st Battalion, Leicestershire Regiment (Carrier Platoon of Support Company) from Normandy through to Germany.
I particularly like the 'Iceland Force' silk patch and the 74th Field Regiment (Royal Artillery) 'TT' patch.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Nice collection of badges Salzburg.
Thought you would like this . My mate saved this from going to the dump last year. Have since found out who it belonged to and little bit of information.

Whateverits just an opinion.
Nice Battledress, Bob. I had an opportunity at Militaria 2014 of buying a Blouse badged to the Leicesters but didn't go for it because I'd already blown my budget for purchases that day. Biggest mistake of my collecting career!Nice collection of badges Salzburg.
