It's really frustrating when these old boys did not put pen to paper and describe what was actually going on, as seen by them, but, it is understandable, given the nature of events, in particular, those in the Arakan Campaign, I had an old friend in the 25th, who is sadly no longer with us and he very seldom spoke of it.
Certainly, from a badge point of view, they had some very fine ones actually made out in India, I've often regarded the typical British made examples as disappointing.

I have a small collections of his badges, both metal and cloth which I will post photos of in the next week or so. I also have one photo of him and his crew on a tank (type unknown) which I will post. Like many x soldiers he never discussed his days so I'm trying to find out anthing I can about his unit and action.
