Reproduction of the sleeve insignia worn by Pathfinders.
In May 1944 a distinctive insignia was created for the Pathfinders. The "Winged Torch" was designed by Lt. Prescott and was approved by Lt. Colonel Crouch, the Pathfinders' CO in the IX Troop Carrier Command. Following an order placed in London in a hurry, the first were issued on 5 June 1944. For reasons of security, wearing the insignia was forbidden on the combat uniform.

The badge was worn on the left forearm of service or going-out dress.
