Capt Petry - 4th Gurkhas WW2
Can anyone tell me anything about a Capt Petry 4th Gurkha Rifles - I have his field service cap with boss badge dated 1945. I bought it some time ago as I didn't have an example of the boss badge but have recently acquired a similar boss badge so may be moving the cap on. I'd be interested in learning something about the officer before doing that though. Tim
