WW2 - 14th Army Bullion Embroidered Formation Sign Desigation Flash

Locally made to a good standard in bullion as typically worn by officers. The roman numerals "XIV" on a black bar and pierced by a sword on a red (now mainly pink from sun fade) shield. I particularly like the red thread detail picking out the hilt on this example. Circa 6cm tall. Hessian backed. Has some age to it.

The exploits of the men of 14th Army are legendary, fighting in some of the worst conditions and terrains of the war.
Formed in November 1943, 14th Army under the command of General (later Field Marshal) Sir William Slim. The Army was responsible for the successful defence of India and the subsequent defeat of Japanese forces in Burma. Disbanded 1945.
