Another item from Bandrat’s collection is this AFV regimental decal – I have 2 as per facing collar dogs. I cannot remember where I got these but I am sure it was when I was in Detmold 1966-1968. On the back it is printed Gale & Polden Ltd & ‘Soak transfer in tepid water for about a minute and slide from paper’.
Just an example of one the items in my collection.

ReplyDeleteJIm, Bill Baines is on the other BB asking if anyone can help as his auntie is doing a family tree and is seeking info on an officer in the Royals. If its OK I will give him your e-mail address. Would it also be possible to let everyone on here know the Royals Items you have in your collection.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Hi, As I served with Bill Baines in the band it would be a pleasure to do some research for his aunty. There was a Blues & Royals Band Association get-together a few weeks ago at Knightsbridge & one of the chaps telephoned Billy in Spain & I managed to have a quick chat with him. I had not spoken to him for a number of years. Ref my collection - I have over 200 single medals or groups of medals to the Royal Dragoons including groups to 5 commanding officers', including Brigadier K.F. Timbrell. Plus the badges, buttons, photos, ephemera, militaria, etc - it would be very difficult to list all of them. I will add of few items each week so members can see what I have. Regards Jim
ReplyDeleteTHanks Jim,i,m sure most will be interested so get on with it before you leave this planet and I hope you have willed it all to me.
