47th London Inf Div.
This was originally the 2nd London Division, it was reorganised as the 47th Division on 21 November 1940. On 1 September 1944 it was reformed as 47th Infantry (Reserve) Division.
A Cockney was traditionally defined as 'someone born within the sound of the Bow Bells'. I believe this is the genesis of the emblem [and therefore one of the few I can always rememer! ].
