Hi Jim,
Yeah, good 'ol Uncle Joe...

Next question is a bit more difficult:

During WWII one of British regiments received privilege of wearing "Crest of Warsaw" distinctive red badge on left sleeve of soldiers and officers uniforms.
Tradition of wearing this badge was continued during post war years and today on the left sleeve of soldiers serving in this British Regiment, one can see crest of Warsaw - siren - women with fish tail, sword and shield.

Which regiment? Please name of regiment and front/campaign in WWII.

P.S.

I just find it funny, that during the time when British were opposite Warsaw Pact forces, one British regiment had Warsaw crest on their sleeves.
