A 'sealed pattern' is a prototype of any item that the British Army issued to soldiers. It provided clothing or equipment suppliers with an example to copy.

The Queen's Royal Surrey Regiment was a short-lived infantry unit formed in October 1959 by amalgamating The Queen's Royal Regiment (West Surrey) and The East Surrey Regiment. It served with the British Army until 1966 when it was merged into The Queen's Regiment.
