Chindit Patches

[mike.c.]

Hi All,
These aren't something I have any real knowledge about, so I am looking for any information you can give me in relation to these patches, which I believe are connected to The Chindits.

Hello Mike,

Your first badge is of the 3rd Indian Infantry Division aka "The Chindits". The second badge is of the 14th Army (which the Chindits were part of?). The third badge, well I've not the foggiest on that on. All are good original examples.

Thanks, from Jack.

Hi All,
Rob it has got poppers to the back, stitched in gold thread and seems to be worded "properly" in the box at the bottom. It has been suggested to me that this was connected with dropping supplies behind the lines??? It is a very nice patch, and in good condition.

Might be something to do with 23rd British Infantry Brigade.
