The formation which ‘owned’ this badge had various titles over the years, all except one featured the designation’24’.

24th Independent Infantry Brigade Group

24th Infantry Brigade 1958-60

24th Airportable Brigade 1961-76

5th Field Force 1976-83

24th Infantry Brigade 1983-88

24th Airmobile Brigade 1988-

On 1/9/99 merged with 5th Airborne Brigade to become 16th Air Assault Brigade.

This may require some ‘tweaking’ once I am able to carry out detailed research.
