British Army 6th Guards Armoured Brigade formation badge.Physical descriptionA white shield with a diagonal band (top right to bottom left) of blue, red, blue, a gold sword, point uppermost, superimposed on all.History note
The badge reflected the Crusader theme of many British formations, with the white shield and the sword, in this case particularised by the addition of a strip of Household Brigade colours. It is not clear when the badge was adopted. A rather ambiguous reference in the Brigade history suggests that it may have been as late as April 1944.
