Very true - I thought I'd hit a brick wall with researching the First World War service of my great grandfather, as his records were nowhere to be found from the usual sources. He apparently rejoined...

So, making a legitimate badge illegitimate, by virtue of trying to make it look legitimate...? The mind boggles!
