Manchester Regiment Fire Surround
Gents..
Although not a badge by a long stretch i thought i would share possibly the greatest militaria item i am ever likely to own. It is a victorian mahogany fire surround from the 8th Ardwick Battalion Manchester Regiment barracks at Ardwick Green, Manchester. Although originally, I am sure this came from the 5th Volunteer/7th Territorial Battalion Barracks at Burlington Street, Manchester. It really is magnificent and I must pass on special thanks to my good friend Brian Finch for his assistance in getting it in my loft. |

A great item to have, lovely.
Presumably the "EGYPT" tablet wouldn't have applied to the 5th VB but would've to the 7th TF Battalion? |

Absolutely fantastic workmanship! Something that we would never see over here in the US.
Madly jealous of you. How I would love to have something like that. CB |
