Got it !
Finally got the badge that has been #1 on my wanted list for a few years , "The Battle of Cambrai" !
Managed to do a swap for a couple of my 'spares' , so that is one set complete , just need the hexagonal "Ypres" gift shop one to finish the other set. .

Congrats there Mike! I know how it feels to get a much, much desired item, and even as other bits come along, that win still glows on.

Now , as soon as a new 'set' is issued I snap them up as they may end up "out of stock" in a couple of weeks ..... and not be reissued ! .

Worth noting : "RELISTED DUE TO NON PAYING BIDDER" https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334320534...h-amw#viTabs_0 It appears that eBay and RBL are not willing/prepared to take any action against these listings ! .

Mike,
Until recently I really only collected war time, but when I got into more current items I figured items would be easier to find. Not to be, the newer items as you mention seem harder to come by than war time ones. I guess we have to consider the hunt as part of the fun. Terry |

A great surprise !
I was expecting a package with some old RBL documents/paper work , it arrived today and included some unexpected but most appreciated items (Thanks Mike).
As Terry has previously stated , the kindness and generosity of forum members is not often mentioned but is one of the really nice aspects of this forum. .

You are more than welcome Mike, you have helped me with more than a few pins yourself.
Some of last years pins I have not seen anywhere else. |

Found photos of two new pins that will be available soon (?) , not sure if they will only go to PAO's/Branches or if PoppyShop will have them.

Just noticed that for the 40th Anniversary the Falklands is classed as a conflict yet for the 35th Anniversary it was a war ?

Was told last week (no pictures) that they would be available at Annual RBL Conference in May. Hope to see them on the PA Order Portal along with 2022 Pin before that...
