The badge is a scarlet square overlaid with an eleven-pointed white star. Within the star are a pair of upward facing red arrows.
The 11th Infantry Brigade was a Queensland based Citizen Military Forces (CMF) formation, originally comprising 42 Battalion (The Capricornia Regiment), 31 Battalion (The Kennedy Regiment) and 51 Battalion (The Far North Queensland Regiment).
The 11th Brigade is an Australian Army brigade which currently comprises most Australian Army Reserve units located in Queensland.
The brigade was first formed in early 1912.
As part of the 3rd Division, it saw action during World War I on the Western Front as part of the First Australian Imperial Force.
In the interwar years, the brigade was re-raised with its headquarters in Brisbane.
During World War II, it undertook garrison and defensive duties in north Queensland before deploying to Dutch New Guinea in 1943.
In the postwar era, the 11th Brigade was raised and disbanded several times, before being raised in Townsville in 1987, where its headquarters is currently located. It forms part of the 2nd Division, and consists of units based across Queensland and New South Wales.
