Army Reserve - Eastern Brigade

This section covers the new Reserve Defence Forces badges that were introduced on 01 October 2005.  The badges were designed by Sgt. Kieran McKeon  of the Defence Forces Printing Press.   With the formalisation of the badges there has been a loss of unit and historical significance.
