A Symbol of Allied Liberation
The 21st Army Group, formed in London in July 1943, was the principal British ground force behind the Allied liberation of Western Europe. Under Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, they spearheaded the Normandy landings on D-Day, advancing through fierce battles, the Falaise Gap, and the liberation of Belgium and the Netherlands. This shield-shaped patch, a red background with a blue cross, was proudly worn by all personnel, from frontline infantry to General Headquarters (GHQ) and Lines of Communication (L of C) support, symbolising their collective role in securing victory by May 1945.
