What is the significance of the "swallow" type bird on what looks like felt backing that is placed inside the wreath?

[Gary J]

Never seen this before .... it's not part of the official badge.

Nor me. Were any Polish paras seconded to 2PolCorps units? The swallow type bird looks very similar in design to one of the beret badges of a 2PolCorps unit whose identity I can't recall at the moment?

Some did transfer or were transferred across, but then did not act in a paratrooper format.

Cheers

(Dove of peace ... that crossed my mind as well)
