Default Royal Artillery Pegasus Arm Badge.

I came across the British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum while researching another issue, that I am following! What caught my eye was the Pegasus badge, awarded to the 419th Heavy Battery.
My wife's uncle was part of that unit, along being a gunner, he was the units secretary keeping the units records. Harry was very meticulous , one copy for the unit, one for himself.He was also a very keen photographer, taking pictures of his unit and many other things of interest, ie bridge at Arnhem. one of him self with the Pegasus badge, on his right forearm.
The official unit records are in the hardback War Diary,but his photos and his own account are in a Leather Bound German Kavallerie Reaiment 13, folder, with the German Eagle & logo. This is how its spelt on the folder.
I just thought these artefact's maybe of some interest, for research purposes. I will try to down load some pictures, but not brilliant with computers.

I tried to down load the phots of Uncle Harry , wearing the arm badge, along with the array of his memorabilia. I will try a different format.
