Mike,

This is an area I know little to nothing about.

I have this badge in my collection and hoped you might be able to tell me which colours represent which divisions.

Good Evening Neville

Here is the answer to your question......

"A" Division (Western Transvaal) - White
"B" Division (Northern Transvaal) - Light Green
"C" Division (Eastern Transvaal) - Light Blue
"E" Division (Orange River Colony)- Deep Yellow
Headquarters Division - Red

Yours is Yellow that has slightly changed due to age.......
