IS the Red Coat army the same as the minute men?
The British Army uniforms during the Revolutionary War included red coats, and the soldiers were called "Red Coats." Minutemen were part of the local militia, but they had additional duties, and were often more well-trained. They quickly reacted when an alarm was sounded, and were often the first soldiers on the scene.
The British army wore patches on the sleeve of their uniform that were called "formation patches". These patches would designate divisions or brigades. Swords was quite common to see on these patches. Some patches used spearheads, which resembled an arrow head. There was one patch that was a RED square with a Bow & Arrow, with the box bent ready to shoot the arrow. I have a photo of this patch but forgot what it represented; most likely a Anti-Aircraft unit based in UK. The British army also wore trade or qualification or speciality patches that designated a soldier was a bomb displosal member, for example. Here are two examples of formation patches that used an arrow. These may or may not have been worn in WW2. 54th Division - Coronet On Crossed Arrows on blue. 6th Anti-Aircraft Division - Red Arrow; White Target On Black These and many more patches can be seen on this site. http://www.kellybadge.co.uk/Stock/armbadge.htm Anti aircraft command had formation patch of a black arm drawing a black bow and arrow on a red square patch.
