Hey Jason,
I see a lot of kangaroo stuff is coming out of the woodwork lately, I think the price tag on this type of badge is a little high. Your stuff however is priceless! I was really blown away with the volume of material and condition your grandfather saved. We should get together again soon.
My Dad really liked the 157 Tac Sign and the CD (when I get a chance I am going to transcribe it so it can be more clearly understood in spots). He has the Tac sign in the rear window of his Plymouth... that combined with his Vet license plate has attracted the attention of a few other Vets in his town. Who knows, you could maybe make a few bucks selling other signs for other regiments?
I was wondering if I could get a copy of the photo showing your Grandfather in the FGH parade? It shows a few other 'roo badges in the columns... still trying to track down as many faces and names as possible...
Anyway, Dad and I got back from the Netherlands May 12th, with a little detour through Ottawa and the new CWM. Had a great time... really an emotional trip for both of us.
I just actually logged in for the first time in several months (usually just lurking)
Sorry I didn't respond to your PM from back in April!! I log in so infrequently that I never even noticed the feature!
Later,
Bill
