7th armoured division insignia 1944 3000px.png
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.
