Here is a scarce 3rd Indian Division Officer patch in bullion. Used, aged and tarnished bullion thread. Embroidered gold Burmese dragon with pagoda in background in bullion thread embroidery on navy blue circular patch Measures 3" The formation was formed at Jhansi as a Special Force of long-range penetration troops, after the First Chindit expedition, on 18 September 1943. The first operation had featured 77th Indian Infantry Brigade, consisting of battalions of Burma Rifles, Gurkhas and the King's Liverpool Regiment who had been on internal security duties in India. During the operation, the railway lines were cut a number of times between Mandalay and Myitkyina. More importantly, the troops emerged from the jungle as heroic figures, lionised by the press as the first British and Commonwealth troops to get the better of the Japanese in the jungle, dispelling the myth of the Japanese 'supermen'.
