These are the shoulder badges as worn by men of 92nd (Loyals) Light Anti-Aircraft regiment, Royal Artillery.
1: The Royal Artillery name. 2: The badge of 3rd British Infantry Division. 3: Field identification bar of the Royal Artillery. 4: The Red Rose of Lancashire. This indicates that the regiment was originally a Lancashire formation - that is, the 7th Battalion, The Loyal Regiment (North Lancashire).
The badges pictured (except the bar) are the actual ones worn by Gunner Len Harvey of 92nd LAA on active service from D-Day to VE-Day.
With thanks to Len Harvey
