Cool Current Trends . . !
This probably does not affect 99.9% of forum members, but tonight I phoned a friend who tells me that Army Veterinary Corps items seem to be at a premium.

I asked why?

He said it was due to "Warhorse"

I have only been vaguely aware of this production/phenomenon, but I can see where he was coming from.

When "Foyle's War" was first shown a dealer friend swapped me a great badge for an MTTC badge I had spare. TV has a lot to answer for . . !

I would also imagine the Remount service also, if not more.

An interesting point. , As we approach the 100th anniversary of the start of The Great War, I expect we shall see increased, commemorations, TV and publishing activity. Demand for period items may increase accordingly.
