A small number of these patches have been used as a base for Series II patches for organisational reasons, others as a basis of completing pattern gaps to provide continuing heritage; these patches are referred to as Series I Extended.

Series II, introduced in , is based largely on the colour combinations of Series I which indicated headquarters, corps and some functions. These are arranged as square base patches identifying Headquarters Australian Defence Force Air Commander , Army Headquarters and the functional command headquarters.

Smaller overlayed shapes in various colours identify uniquely non-corps units under command of those headquarters, and corps units respectively. These patches are worn by units which have not established lineage and similarity of role for a Series I patch. Entitlement to the wearing of a Series I colour patch is subject to substantial evidence being produced as to clear and direct lineage from a World War l or World War 2 headquarters, unit or independent sub-unit which had an approved colour patch, and a role similar to the present day unit.

Granting of the entitlement must be shown to be a factor in significantly enhancing unit esprit-de-corps and morale. As of May , 97 Series I colour patches have been approved for wear.

The uniquely Australian system of colour patches may have been inspired through the South African War by some British Army units wearing small cloth patches in colours or tartans appropriate to their regiment on the puggarees of their pith helmets. The Australian system however, was an extension of the system of small flags nine inches square allowed by Headquarters 1st Australian Division in to mark headquarters and unit lines; AIF Order No.

Divisional Order No. Except in cases of Headquarters of Brigades and the Divisional Artillery, the Engineers and Army Medical Corps, badges will consist of two colours, the lower indicating the formation, the upper the unit etc. Light Horse 4th Light Horse and Artillery badges will be divided diagonally, the others horizontally. A table giving the layout in detail followed.

Later in , 1st Division Standing Orders paragraph 35 ii re-promulgated colour patch detail amending the artillery identification to one colour patch only for all divisional artillery, of crimson over royal blue in a diagonal setting, and replacing the yellow as the colour of the second battalion in each brigade with purple.
