The 9th (Scottish) Division in 1914-1918

Their Divisional sign was a thistle in a circle which was painted on their vehicles and by 1918 was worn on their helmets and on each sleeve. The cloth and helmet version of the patch was a blue thistle on a light or white circle, and the sleeve version was a silver metal thistle pinned through a blue circular patch.

cheers dazza i had seen that site before but had written off the divisional patch as too modern.  thanks for the clarification, I assume all rank and service stipes etc would be the same as the rest of the british army?

On that you are probably right, but given the traditions I'd check......
