Rich, have you picture if what you are looking for, I have been trawling the net recently and have come across a few good sights selling original titles.

My Fathers Dad was royal Artillery (centre picture in waist coat small oil can in hand). Has anyone a close up of what that cap badge would look like?.

Yours Grandfather appears to be serving in one of the Yeomanry Regiments converted to RA between the wars but retaining their own cap badge.

I assume it will be one of these featured on this site.

Probably this one?

Here you go Kev.


Inneskillen Ireland re arming and training after the Dunkirk fiasco.

Posing with Ron.

Note the 5th div flash and the three red bars... No Bc badge and all three were carrier drivers....

Same with Ron but in KD kit


And finally KD tunic and trousers (i have this kit) this shot was either Sicily or Italy although could be Bizzerta I believe

The most accurate version of this kit on repro form can be obtained from www.whatpriceglory.com. All others I have seen are hopelessly wrong !

Default Pics.

Nice pictures rich, Will you be dressed for W&P?. I found a good site called "world war wonders" what they are selling is reasonable priced. You can pick up original insignia on ebay but tread carefully.
