Badge images from "The Second Great War" Hammerton
I only have the first 5 volumes of this publication, I understand they are a contemporary magazine bound into volumes later so they can perhaps date an image reasonably well.
Here are a couple of badge related images I found interesting. Rob |

I haven't even got a single magazine, just the page you show as your first image and one or two others.

Hi Rob
I would be very interested to know the date of the publication from which the first image (with white on black 'COMMANDO') is taken. Any reply appreciated. Many thanks Mike |

Hi Mike
Because its a bound edition the magazine covers are removed, so I'm struggling to be very accurate, however the caption under the picture says prior to December 1941. I will study it a bit more. Rob |

I think that nine volumes is all there is. Towards the end of volume nine are some overviews and a substantial index at the end. This index does not give the volume, just the page number. The final page is 4076, for the second page of the "editors epilogue", dated October 1946. Volume nine includes a colour plate of the flags of the 51 members of the United Nations with an article about the April 1945 San Francisco Conference, which drew up the Charter of the UN. There is also a chapter on the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial, which mentions in passing the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima

There are quite a few individual magazines and bound sets on ebay, the issue date appears to be on the back cover at the bottom, issue one was printed on October 23rd 1939 but most listed don't have a clear image of the reverse.
