Default Locally made Welch and SWB titles for views

I'm just loading up some albums of my Welsh WW2 cloth and have had these titles in my collection for quite some time. The Welch Regiment example I thought may have been Italian made initially from the front. The SWB titles I think were made in South East Asia. Both nice locally made examples.

I thought I might put it before the good people on here to see what they think...?


Best.
Jon

both sets look good to me, these theater made items are not an exact science, and they don't look like the copies we see.

I have a few titles that are locally made imo.

Cheers Jerry - they're right as rain in my opinion too, and the SWBs I believe may be Burma / India theatre and the Welch maybe too.
