History note
The design may have been chosen to represent the infantry with the red and the desert with the yellow, the solid triangle at the top standing for the Nile Delta. The Brigade was formed in in the Canal Zone in January 1950 by redesignation 8th Infantry Brigade, which since December 1949 had been designated 8th Infantry Brigade District, Southern Canal Zone district. 17th Brigade appears to have been reduced to cadre strength November 1951. However, it may have had an additional lease of life as Cole states that it changed its badge to a yellow arrow on a red rectangle in 1952.
