Hi Guys,

I'm looking for confirmation for the AOS and DIv signs for the Royal Wiltshire Yeomenry in N Africa in Oct 42. Were the tank WD numbers in black or white. They were part of 2 NZ Armd Div at the time I believe and I have the white feather on the black background so it's really confirmation of the AOS.

Any thoughts?

Al

Thanks for that.

It's hard to pin them down as they were in the battle and then moved to Egypt and on to Syria.

I had though it was a white 86 on a red background with the white horse on green above?

Cheers

Al
