Hello Jack

Interesting to see that the display is headed "Royal Army". Here in the UK we have a Royal Navy and Royal Air Force but we have never had (as far as I know!) a Royal Army! "British Army" would, I think, have been a more appropriate title.

It reminds me of some of the early plastic tank kits made by the Japanese firms of Tamiya and others. They often referred to the "Royal Army" Centurion Tank and so on!

A very nice collection of insignia though!

Regards
Roger
