I found a holly grail yesterday.
On the 29th July 2011 I scanned this Regimental Crest to add to my Devonshire Regiment Album here on this forum, a while later when I found a similar later 5th Battalion version I realised I had lost it, it wasn't anywhere to be found, since then I have actively been looking for a replacement with no luck. Them a few weeks ago I bought a new printer to replace my old one which had pretty much died, and there in the bottom of the cupboard covered in dust underneath was my lost crest. I think what happened was after I scanned it I forgot to remove it from the scanner on top of the desk, later I opened the scanner to scan something else it blew away and eventually made its way down through a hole in desk for computer wires, past one shelf and the printer right to the bottom.
I am thrilled to have it back.
