That's a lovely display and someone took a lot of trouble and care in making those badges.
I'm a dab hand at sewing myself and can see a lot of really nice hand sewing there.
Well done indeed, and thank for sharing this.
All the best, Roy.
P.s. regards the nationality comment, I can most certainly agree with that. Growing up on the Welsh border (just 12 miles away) I can think of more than a few Welshmen that would not take kindly to being lumped in with us English folk..
