The Army Flag (non-ceremonial): is authorized to be flown at any Army or inter-Service events of a non ceremonial nature, at Army headquarters and recruiting offices. The Army Flag is not to be flown as the principal flag denoting Army participation at any international event where the Union Flag should be flown (Ministry of Defence (1996). The Queen's Regulations for the Army 1975. Government of the United Kingdom p. 227. Retrieved on 14 November 2015.).
The division's initial insignia was a white circle on a red background, similar to the 7th Division's First World War insignia that was a white circle on a black background. In early 1940, a Jeoboa (a desert rat) was chosen as he symbol of the division and added to the design. This insignia was replaced in 1943.
