Self Help.
Whilst I appreciate that a lot of new members post on the Forum asking for identification ( and often valuations) of fairly common items which I don't have problem with and hope they will continue, I would recommend that anyone taking up the hobby of collecting militaria/military history as a long term interest, could do no better than to obtain a couple of basic ( inexpensive ) books on the particular aspects of the subject that they are especially interested in.
These books often provide a good background on the history of the British Army and its insignia and provide valuable clues to help in identifying unknown items. I still refer on a regular basis to many of the books I bought when I first started with the interest.
Notwithstanding the above, to me ,those posts seeking to identify previously unknown items of insignia are amongst some of the most interesting on the Forum.
P.B.
