A good example of a early type British made 1st Polish Armoured Division shoulder patch with a small never seen before label pin for on the collar

This is a neat example of a early type British made 1st Polish Armoured Division shoulder patch with a small never seen before label pin for on the collar. The Polish 1st Armoured Division (Polish 1 Dywizja Pancerna) was an armoured division of the Polish Armed Forces in the West during World War II. Created in February 1942 at Duns in Scotland, it was commanded by Major General Stanis³aw Maczek and at its peak numbered approximately 16,000 soldiers. The division served in the final phases of the Battle of Normandy in August 1944 during Operation Totalize and the Battle of Chambois and then continued to fight throughout the campaign in Northern Europe, mainly as part of the First Canadian Army. This nice small grouping excists of a early British made shoulder patch on so called 'angola cloth' and a small, never seen before, nicely detailed label pin made with cold enamel. A nice set which is hard to find.
