I bought recently, at auction, a slightly battered cigarette case, silver, hallmarked.
It was the insccription inside that fascinated me and, perhaps some of you guys, with your fonts of knowledge could help out.

Presented by
Captain Goodsir

Pte S E H Foyle

Thank you

Stewart Ernest H Foyle. Born 1899 Kensington, so probably too late for the Great War and too early for WW2.

How about considering a Home Guard MT Coy? A quick check doesn't reveal an independent unit but I think most counties contributed to area columns.
