Hampshire Newbie
Good afternoon! Not only am I new to this website but i'm also new to the hobby. I have started collecting Hampshire Regt & Hampshire Yeomanry items.
Any advice from more experienced hobbyists would be greatly appreciated! Firstly, what reference books would be recommended? |

Welcome, There are many books etc out there that will help. Most collectors use Kipling & King Vol 1 & 2. There are mistakes and omissions in the books but not all books are complete as items are found on a regular basis.
Are you intending to collect "metal" badges or will you include cloth shoulder titles and cloth Unit insignia ? I cannot say if there are particular books on your chosen subject but there are many within this forum that are very knowledgeable on many aspects of our hobby . Enjoy Jerry

As a lowly Sussexonian, do you not realise that beyond that great border to your West lies the most wonderful county of Hampshire [itself being a sub-unit to the even more wonderful county of the Isle of Wight] ? See attached for a very good starting point for collecting to the Hampshire Hogs! T ps did you like the badge I sent you? |
