Yes thanks Phill, I knew most of that but that's okay. I knew the maker of the original Alpha patches and have a copy of some of the drawings. I also have close up detailed photos of a lot of the patches but I don't release them or the info, years they were first made, by whom, how many were made for various regiments etc.
Some vets had a number of items made in Afghanistan, many unofficial and then brought spares back to flog here and that was about a decade ago.
