Anyone recognize [THIS](https://webmail.us.army.mil/attach/UK1.JPG?sid=GkUByjCkQbI&mbox=INBOX&charset=escaped_unicode&uid=357&number=4&filename=UK1.JPG)? Most likely it is some kind of military unit patch. Not necessarily US though. Anyone know what it is?  
Thanks.

Um… no-one can access attachments to your _personal mail_ other than you, after you sign in. If it was otherwise, I’d have considered giving the ol’ U.S. army a call. 😉

I’m going to guess it’s a UK patch of some kind, since the filename is UK1.jpg, but it’s still a 404.

… I don’t know why I thought it could be that easy.

Anyway, here’s the patch.

Also, the filename is UK for “Unknown”. My buddy emailed me a couple patches he had in his collection. I was able to identify all but this one.

This is the “subdued” issue of the US Army 89th Military Police Brigade, current issue.

There is a more colourful issue as well:
