The County Division (qv) included an Excalibur and on formation 77th Division chose a new badge which retained this motif. 77th Division was formed on Lower Establishment and its Brigades were formed as "Home" formations, that is raised specifically for home defence. Two of its Brigades had been formed by Training Groups, 203 Brigade by 3rd Infantry Training Group and 209 Brigade by 9 Group.
