Maurice;
First image:
- is the Arm of Service (AoS) marking of a Signals unit - the serial 215 in red on a background of white over blue divided horizontally - unfortunately, I have no idea what Signals unit used serial 215
Second image:
- is the Formation Sign used by Headquarters, Lines of Communication 21st Army Group and by the Lines of Communication and Base Sub-Area Headquarters - a dark blue crusader’s cross on a yellow shield - this Formation Sign was used by all HQ’s of the L of C and by certain formations and units under direct command of those HQ’s
- this Formation Sign was also used by the Headquarters, British Troops in the Low Countries after the cessation of hostilities in North-West Europe - this HQ was based in Brussels and was the Administrative Headquarters for all British troops located in Belgium and The Netherlands after the cessation of hostilities in North-West Europe
I hope this helps.
Cheers
