Default Ugandan Army badge.

Not sure if this is the right forum to show this? It was given to me by a Nun who was in Uganda at the time of Idi Amin's overthrow. She told me that there was total anarchy with soldiers shooting civilians to get their clothes and dumping their uniforms asap. She said that there were hundreds lying around and picked this up as a keepsake. Sorry if it's a bit fuzzy but I took the photo' through the glass of the frame

It is always nice to add a bit of history to an item. Regards Andrew
