Here's a brand new small unit patch being worn in Afghanistan.
The horse-head represents the name (Black Horse) of the base camp in Kabul. The number is for Number 2 Platoon and the red triangle is that used by "Gulf" Company of the 2nd Bn, The RCR. The patches were manufactured overseas and were procured through Penny's of Thunder Bay.
This is the prototype and the production badges - limited to 35 - do not have the bridle. This patch was commissioned by the platoon commander for distribution to his platoon upon arrival in Afghanistan. That event occurred today. Their role is to be the protective force for all movement between the three camps in the Kabul area.
How do I know all this you ask? The Platoon Commander is my son, Lt Richard Law.
