My question is - where did James Blunt (ex Life Guards?) get his t-shirt? Some will recognise the 1939 cigarette card series on the TA - familiar to many British members I'm sure. Any clues as to source would be welcome. Mike

Perhaps he got it from his father who was a Colonel in the army?

£36! for a tee shirt?
You could buy a badge for that, although, perhaps not a great one.

And that's with 10% off... Pass....

Solution? Maybe buy the cards, scan them, print onto iron-on t shirt transfer material.. buy a £2 t-shirt from Primark (shucks, no "secret dinner money pocket"), iron...
