Nice to see the E.L.O. (NOT Electric Light Orchestra....) given a mention. I used to puzzle about the mention of
"1st Trents" until I worked out that it was "
1st Trenthams" or
23/. Right?
I've also seen it as just a "T" in a circle written on forms.
I know the NZRB were called the Dinks but does anyone know what the full four NZRB groups(23/;24/;25/;26/) were called. From a talk with a long-gone NZRB man I heard the following:
The square Dinks (the black felt square worn behind the badge)
The arse upside down Dinks (the inverted triangle felt backing)
The others are???????
Oh, and that little NZRB badge?
"The monkey on the stick"
