Many congrats Tim!

Is there a particular scope to the exhibition, or is it your collection?

Would be interested to hear more.

Many thanks,

Andy C

Thanks to PB and members who have helped me to add to the collection. I have been a member of the Military Historical Society for about 40 years but have not exhibited before. The annual MHS Exhibition is run jointly with the Aldershot and District Militaria Society so there were about 30 exhibitors with a wide variety of badges, medals and uniforms covering many areas of collecting. Cups and awards were made by the MHS President, General The Lord Richards.
Cups are held for a year until the next exhibition and a medal is retained.
Tim

Andy,
I was showing about 500 rank slides from my collection. I have about another 700 including ACF, CCF and OTC slides. Most are in my forum albums.

A belated congratulations, Tim. It was only after I'd already commented on your display, then looked at your album that I realised you'd won the cup. That's quite a collection you have.

Regards,
David

Great display, thanks for the link, but what's that silly cup doing obscuring the badges...only kidding! Fantastic display and well done to Tim, excellent to see the dedication to collecting being rewarded.
Cheers,
Alex
