Benefits of Displaying to the General Public
I always like to present some military history to the general public for their curiosity/education and for my self-pride – if they show any appreciation.
A two or three day display, accommodates any visitor who asks ‘would you like to have …… , I’ll bring it in tomorrow’, and they on occasion do.
Family members are wanting to find an appropriate place for items to end up.
At my last display a guy remarked that his Grand-dad was in Artillery, and in his old shed were Black & White sticks, which were once used to play Croquet.
I showed a lot of interest, and the next day, 2 black/white Aiming Posts and 2 ‘was’ red/white posts were gratefully received.
I’ve kept the Black/white posts in mostly original condition, the others needed blasting and repainting.
And they fit !
