The badge of the Desert Rats is a distinctive and iconic insignia featuring a jerboa, a small desert rodent, which is native to the North African deserts where the 7th Armoured Division earned its fame. The design is simple yet symbolic, typically depicted as a red jerboa set against a white or beige background. The jerboa is shown in a standing position, often with its long tail curving upwards. This emblem reflects the agility, endurance, and resilience of the Desert Rats, mirroring the qualities of the division that played a crucial role in the North African campaigns during World War II. The badge is a proud symbol of the bravery and tenacity of the soldiers who served in this legendary unit.
