	An Operations Message - no.363 - from The War Office was received at Brigade HQ and this instructed that, as part of the process of dismantling and disbanding the Labour Divisions which had joined the British Expeditionary Force in April 1940 – in this case 23rd Division – the 70th Infantry Brigade would be designated as an Independent Infantry Brigade. ''This included the introduction of a specific ~~shoulder/arm~~ badge for the Brigade which was apparently intended for use as a designatory sleeve badge pending the return to 49th Division. The insignia can be found at the centre of the badges at the head of the Main Page of this Website. It is understood to be relatively rare in the field of militaria collecting.''
