Default Robin Hoods

My father was a Robin Hood, I remember his peaked cap looked 'similar' to this (although I cannot remember the patterning).

I also remember that they wore black rifles buttons.

Additionally, they wore silver AA beret badges - certainly in BD.

I am sure I have a couple of Robin Hood photos somewhere including a photo from the 'Post' showing the Gommecourt Day parade at the castle.

I shall try and dig them out if anyone is interested.
