I don't think this is out of that loft . . !

I knew a very private person who had a historically important suit case that lived in the dark confines of his garage that was "full of LRDG memorabilia."
There wasn’t “a telegram from the Queen,” but among the extensive collection of one man’s interesting journey through life, there was an extremely important LRDG letter from the Queen which I have provided a snippet of below.
The suit case also contained a big bag of unissued LRDG cap badges and shoulder titles.
Do I believe in the two sun hats on offer? I have doubts as neither helmet is of a type that was issued to New Zealand LRDG members, and the cast LRDG badges do not inspire me.
