Good Luck

Wow, I wish my hulls were as complete as that. It looks like it should still be registered with a cut'n'polish I can give you dimentions for the cover.
Excellent carrier.
Colin.

Not answering your question, Ian. But, Welcome to MLU.

Maybe you can tell us all a bit about yourself in another thread.

Regards Rick.

Euan,

99 on red background = (from early 1943 till the scheme was revised in August 1944), the 2nd (in seniority) Infantry Battalion in an Infantry Brigade of an Infantry Division. Which actual unit it was assigned to would depend on the Formation Sign (which no doubt appeared on another storage bin!)

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the info, just what I was looking for. So under the 99 is 69, would the same apply to this?

[Mike Cecil]

Hi Euan,

Don't quite understand: can you send me a higher res image directly via email, so I can see it more clearly? Is the '69' is behind the '99', ie the '99' overpaints the '69'? ( I can't actually see that on the image).

I'll then reply to you direct. From memory, both 69 and 99 are infantry unit signs of the 43-44 period, but I'll have to check.
