WW2 British 21st Army Group Lines of Communication Formation Patch Printed

The WW2 British 21st Army Group Lines of Communication Formation Patch is an example of the insignia worn by personnel assigned to logistical and support roles within the 21st Army Group during the Second World War. This printed cloth patch features a distinct design used to identify those attached to Lines of Communication units, which were responsible for maintaining vital supply routes, transport, and administrative support behind the front lines. The 21st Army Group was a major British-led formation under the command of General Sir Bernard Montgomery, most notably associated with the Normandy landings and subsequent campaigns across Northwest Europe from 1944 to 1945. Formation patches such as this were typically worn on the upper arm of the battledress blouse and allowed for quick identification of unit affiliation. The use of printed insignia became increasingly common during the war due to production efficiency, reflecting the practical demands of wartime supply.
