ILH collection
Hi All,
I recently added a couple of extras to my ILH collection, the WWII beret bar, blazer badge and latest badge backing; just need the badge! (I believe a new version with the current flag is on order.) b 1227.jpg regards, Iain

How long have you spent on building that frame up, Iain?

And what is your favourite badge in the frame?

Frank, I used to collect only British badges but when I first started collecting SA badges, about 10 years ago, it was to the ILH; I'd become interested in the ABW and of course the ILH were born into this conflict and very involved throughout.
Favourite badge: whilst the 3 ABW slouch hat badges are special, my favourite has to be the 1903 Volunteers headdress badge; unfortunately I only have one collar so the set isn't complete. regards, Iain

Hi Brian, no, the new badges will be a limited amount due to budget restraints I believe

and a couple more additions, not as rare as the St Blaize Rifles but rare all the same!

Very nice Iain, I think it was a great shame when officers ended up with only bi metal cap and collar badge to wear, they used to be proper solid die cast silver and rich mercurial fire gilt, on occasion, handed down within the regiment to be worn by a lucky few into the second world war.

Thanks Frank; yes, changing times, not the money anymore and of course the skill required to make these items also costs so much more.
You've also got me thinking that when an Officer led his men, as in WWI and was cut down, how many artefacts were lost in the mud of Flanders Quote:
