Help with unit patch ID

[Flash00TA]

Hello all, I've just purchased a current issue British multicam field shirt that came with some shoulder patches attached. I tried searching online to see if I could find out what unit the shoulder patches represented, but was unsuccessful. Unfortunately I am unable to post pictures, but here is the link to the completed auction for the shirt: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-BRITISH-AR...72.m2749.l2649 The left sleeve has a dark blue diamond with a white spear tip. The right sleeve has an od green shield with black border featuring the latin inscription "Audentis Fortuna Iuvat" with a black spear tip in the center. Any help with what unit these insignia represent would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Thanks fldjr for posting the photo, and thanks Marc Sheriff for identifying the unit insignia. I'm not real familiar with the whole British military thing, is it common for British military uniforms to have unit patches on both sleeves?

According to the Wikipedia page for the 1st (UK) Signal Brigade, which can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Si...United_Kingdom) , the unit is organized into four specialist units. I assume the original wearer of the shirt that I purchased would have been part of the ARRC Support Battalion based out of Innsworth, which is why the shirt has the 1st (UK) Signal Brigade patch on the left sleeve and the ARRC patch on the right sleeve.

Here is what Wikipedia has to say about the ARRC Support Battalion of the 1st (UK) Signal Brigade: "ARRC Support Battalion, based in Innsworth, provide a bespoke and resilient staff working environment which can be deployed anywhere in the world at short notice to allow the NATO Allied Rapid Reaction Corps Headquarters to carry out their command role in any type of armed conflict. The Battalion also provides the crucial real life support and protection that enables the headquarters to focus on its role."
