A huge display and a pleasure to see on here.
Wish I could have looked at in person.

Congrats.

Default British Army Proficiency Badges

Thank you all for the congratulatory comments. Although I have been a member of the MHS for about 40 years I had not been to an annual exhibition until 2014 when I decided to show my collection of rank slides. It won the 'Best first time exhibitor' award. So encouraged I entered again in 2015 with 'The British Army Warrant Officer' which won 'Best in Show'. This year was again successful so I am now thinking about what I can display in 2017.

I intend to re-photograph the Proficiency Badge A4 and A5 boards separately with some close-ups of individual badges and update the album.

Thanks again

Tim
