WW2 Essex County Division – Woven Cloth Formation Sign Badge

A lovely example in unissued condition (See also my item 65303 for another example, but in worn condition).

The Essex County Division was formed 18 February 1941 by redesignation of the West Sussex County Division. At this time the existing Sussex Martlet badge was abandoned, and this new badge adopted. Essex County Division was itself disbanded 7 October 1941. Versions also exist on a shield and with the word 'ESSEX 'above the seaxes, which the badge authority Morris claims as a 'second pattern'.

BoBD (Jon Mills) No 1036 refers.
