Original British Second World War cloth formation sign for the North Kent and Surrey District, featuring a gold rearing horse on a dark green oval background.
This distinctive patch was worn on the battledress by personnel under the district’s command during the latter part of the war. The rearing horse symbol pays homage to the region’s historical heraldry, particularly Kent’s white horse.
This example is machine-embroidered with a tight weave, likely a wartime issue (not post-war repro), and shows only minor edge fray from storage. The reverse is unmarked, textbook flat weave.
Condition: Very good+, light wear, untouched reverse
