The one identifiable vehicle is a Peerless 3 Tonner which probably goes for some of the others as well but at least one of them is rated as a 30cwt.

There was me thinking it was a genuine 3rd/4th CLY badge with the wm CLY replaced with a wm 4. That 4 is badly off-centre which is why I thought that.

That would be the Supply and Transport Corps then. I think it's safe to say that, in my opinion, that badge has nothing at all to do with the STC.

Pedant alert!!. The correct title was 3rd East Anglian Regiment, a single battalion regiment. They were, of course, to become 3rd Battalion, Royal Anglian Regiment in 1964.

Terry, I owe you an apology, I had always thought that it was only the pipers who wore those badges but clearly the officers wear that pattern too. My blunder, sorry about that mate.

It can't possibly be a dud, it states quite clearly it's 100% genuine so it must be. I can't imagine for one moment that a dear old genuine 100% lady like Clare, who must be well into her nineties by...
