The second of the 8th Division’s field regiments, the 2/14th Field Regiment was raised on 17 October 1940 and its headquarters were initially headquartered at Victoria Barracks, Melbourne. Later it headed to Darwin where it trained and was present in the area when the Japanese bombed the city in 1942. The 2/14th Field Regiment was the only major combat unit of the 8th Division that was not captured during the war. The regiment’s colour patch was later changed in part to acknowledge this, as a perpendicular 'break' was inserted into the colour patch. The break signified the 'Broken Eight' Division. The intention was to remove the break when the prisoners were liberated and the division reformed. The regiment saw service in New Guinea, New Britain, Waitavalo and other various places where it supported the offensive ground forces.
