IN the book formation badges of world war two only one badge is displayed the one you described for 30 corp as to Headquarters serial numbers you have a choice they are as follows HQ AND HQ COY the number 30 HQ DIV AND HQ COY /SQN the number 40 lastly CORP HQ the number 100 I hope that this does not confuse you all these are as you say are on a black background this information comes from document vehicle unit signs north west Europe 1944 /1945 hope this helps

Hi mate,

I am restoring it as Gen. Horrocks jeep so what would you say it would be for that? because i have seen 17 not 100 on some restored pics but am not sure they are correct. Also did the british ever use the red background with gold stars for their generals?

Hello all,

I am currently restoring a British XXX corps HQ jeep but i cannot find any info on the correct tac signs for it. Im pretty sure that the Vehicle patch is the same as the shoulder patch, black square with white cirle and black boar but im not sure. Also i would like to know what the formation number would be as i only know that HQ is a black square with white numbering. Does anyone know what the number would be? Also if you have pics they would be helpful to see aswell.
