NOTE: The 7th Artillery Regiment Badge shown above was an early individual attempt to identify the regiment. This badge I received from an NCO who was attached to the 2nd Regiment and later transferred to the newly formed 7th Regiment.  In an attempt to identify his new unit he (and possibly others in the new unit) added the number 7 with tipex prior to a new design being produced.

NOTE: The 9th Artillery Regiment Badge shown above was unapproved and not generally worn. There also exists a subdued version this badge with three titles, the 15th, 20th and Headquarters. Again these where not generally worn by the unit. I would refer to this particular badge(s) as a "Mingy" badge.
