Default 70th Sussex S/L Regt RA TA.

Hi All.

Please see the attachments below. I picked this up at a postcard fair many years ago and then promptly misplaced it. As you can see it is not a traditional postcard and measures 10 x 14 cm. I have been searching for it ever since Jon's excellent two volume work came out as it appears to a positive identification of this sign. Jerry's post made me look again and there it was kept flat in Norman Litchfield's Territorial Artillery book! Perhaps the 70th S/L Regt war diary will contain a reference to it?

Regards, Andrew.

Andrew,

What a brilliant find. Another mystery finally solved. Well done.

Nice to know my guess was not too wide of the mark.

Jon
