after some research i know that the yellow patch with the bull is the 11th armoured division, and the other one with the kangaroo mouse is the 7th armoured brigade, but are they WWII era and what are the blue ones with what look like wheels and the canada patch. i believe the fencing patch is not military? the US 4th army and 45th Div looks WWII

You got a pretty good deal - you don't see British patches
all that much in North America. I like the 45th Div patches................!

yeah i figured i couldnt loose with the 45th div and 4th army, it would have been nice if the 45th div were the old pattern.

gentlemen the 7th armoured was and is a division ,not a brigade
the brigade that used a desert rat was the 4th armoured brigade
the diference being the 7th armoured division rats tail went under his feet
and the 4th armoured brigade his tail went up his back
cheers ian
