The C Detachment 202 (Midlands) base is just by the old Copthorne Barracks in Shrewsbury, and is used by the Army Reserve Forces.
The four quarters of its shield represent the four Midlands counties that this unit is associated with, with Shropshire's symbol in the bottom right-hand.
Curiously, while everything else is correct about the Shropshire bit (the colours, the W shape with fleur-de-lys on), the one element missing is ... the loggerheads. It should have the loggerheads.
(To see the device complete with loggerheads, click here).
Now, why's that? Why are they missing?
Please let us have your thoughts... Use the comments field just down this page.
