Army Patch - Nemesis - 31 May 2012

Picked up DPM and Desert wind proof smocks and DPM was brand new bit of luck, the Desert one was not and had this badge on it, any old or new soldier recognise this patch?

I can only hazard a guess but it looks like an Armoured fist which would be the 20th armoured brigade (UK) Ist Armoured Division (UK)
or better known to infantrymen like myself as C**ts in tanks, so it will be kit from some twat driving a light recce tank in operation s telic or herick
Its not 6 Div which was a WW2 formation its a modern one that prolly came out after the BAOR.
