Dear Friends

Can any member of the Forum please help me.

I am desperately trying to get hold of a QEII Gurkha Signals Cross Belt badge.

I believe I may have found a small error on my little web site and need a Cross Belt Badge to update the site and rectify the error.

Happy to pay what the asking price may be and the p and p.

Badge I am after is displayed below.

Any assistance with this request would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

They do turn up on E bay from time to time. I'll keep my eyes open with my contacts.

Thanks Michael.

Much appreciated.

I have to do another Cross Belt as I have very recently found out that the Plaid Brooch I display for the Junior Leaders Regiment Royal Signals and the QEII Gurkha Pipes and Drums are not the same Plaid brooch.

Long story but after just over 50 years I have been in touch with the Junior Pipe Major that I played with in 1965. He kept his Plaid Brooch when he went into Man Service and it is not the same as the Gurkha Signals Plaid Brooch that I currently show.

I may be lucky enough some time in February to get hold of the JLR Plaid Brooch and hence have to change the site for the Gurkha Signals Pipe Band.

This means I need a new Gurkha Signals Cross Belt with the Cross Belt Badge as requested to change the site a little.

Nice problem to have really but it depends on whether I get the 1965 Plaid Brooch.

The two different Clan Grant Plaid Brooches are shown below. First is the Gurkha Plaid Brooch second is the JLR Plaid Brooch. Both Clan Grant but different.

I appreciate your help Mike.

Kind regards

Chris

Hi Chris, I think I have one in silver and one in gold and I think I have a cross belt with another silver one. If Expat Yeoman can’t help I will be home on the weekend of 10th February so email me then if you have had no luck. I will check my collection and if I do indeed have two silver versions I will send you one.
