Notes:

1. This is the formation sign of the British 49^th (West Riding) Division, which had garrisoned Iceland. It was approved only for local wear while serving in Iceland by U.S. Marines and was removed on leaving the island. It is the only officially sanctioned patch of W.W. II worn on both shoulders (in the British fashion).
2. The Cape Gloucester tab was requested by the division commander by letter written on February 4, 1944 for wear by 1st Marine Division troops who were involved in operations on Cape Gloucester in Western New Britain (part of New Guinea). This was to have been worn under the 1st Marine Division shoulder sleeve insignia. The request was not approved and yet some of these patches were manufactured and perhaps worn.
