Re: convoy disc
 

Nothing to do with the topic, Big Mike, but, since your old Regiment was the Northumberland Fusiliers, I thought I'd let you know that my old TA unit's Affiliated Regiment was the Lancashire Fusiliers. XX of Foot.

We still wear the Primrose Hackle, which was "willed" to us in perpetuity, when the Lancs were stood down from the Order of Battle.

Is that something like a Slouch Hat?

Ah yes the 20th foot , part of the 6 old corp's of the British army, The 5th foot or The NF of ww1 and the RNF of ww2 , now the RRF in Iraq The 5th foot and the RNF we portry them in reenactmentsa , But we have a following thru the RNF association in England and a Few old sweats here ikn the states , as for the cap we ware the Royal Blue Berry with the Red and White Hackle( red on top of course) with the RNF badge(ww2/Korea) or the RRF badge on it( modern day) , Our Ancient badge and still is today, is ST. George Slaying the Dragon, witch we celebrate every April on St. Georges Day, here in the states and in England. Cheers mate

Tony:

Perhaps I should tuck a Primrose Hackle in behind the ACMF cap badge on my Slouch Hat, thus creating confusion amongst Commonwealth Forces.

Big Mike:

Red on top of the hackle...of course...soldier's blood.
Our RRF affiliated Bn still visits yearly, as we do with them.
