The 2nd Canadian Infantry Division used a "battle patch" system of geometric shapes identifying individual brigades and battalions, similar to that used by the 2nd Canadian Division in the First World War, during the 1941-42 period, but abandoned this system after the Dieppe Raid.Law, Clive M.

Other Canadian divisions used plain formation patches, and separate unit titles.".Dancocks, Daniel Gallant Canadians: The Story of the 10th Canadian Infantry Battalion, 1914-1919 (Calgary Highlanders Regimental Funds Foundation, 1990) Dorosh, Michael A. Dressed to Kill Service Publications, 2001
