hi mark
had the opportunity to have a quick look through your book last night and am most impressed.
a few questions jumped out at me regarding some of the items, so I hope you don't mind answering one or 2 here?
on page 60 you show a pic of the Australian Horse set. there is a metal title AH with a brooch fitting. can you confirm this is Australian Horse or indeed military? you make mention of the hat and collar badge specifications but I don't think you included the title?
many years ago I had the opportunity to visit Stokes and there was a big pile of these badges never issued/sent. I immediately assumed Australian horse but was told it was actually a cape badge for the nurses at Austin Hospital. they said they would never issue a military badge/title with a brooch fitting and that brooch fittings for nurses badges was the norm.
would love to hear your thoughts
bc
