Hello Iain,
The wretched Long Tom was actually a 155mm piece firing an equally wretched ninety four pound shell, a nice badge, by the way.
Regards Frank

The tartan is fairly easy to come by, I have quite a few pieces myself.

The badge altho a cannon is actually a Long Tom, (115mm Creusot) from the ABW. At Bergendal, not far from Nelspruit, the last set piece battle of the war with all 4 Long Toms taking part.

regards, Iain
