Help with Formation Badge

[lanners55]

Gentlemen. I wonder if anyone can identify this formation badge, found on a 1943 dated Slouch Hat?

Best regards,

Simon

King's African Rifles, the 7th Battalion (Uganda), WWII era. They were raised in 1939, became a first line battalion in 1941 and went to India, then Burma that year, fighting there until 1945. The slouch hat was, of course, typical of the Burma campaign and worn by all the African divisions and brigades who served there.
