Default ILH collection

Hi All,

I recently added a couple of extras to my ILH collection, the WWII beret bar, blazer badge and latest badge backing; just need the badge! (I believe a new version with the current flag is on order.)

How long have you spent on building that frame up, Iain?

Frank, I used to collect only British badges but when I first started collecting SA badges, about 10 years ago, it was to the ILH; I'd become interested in the ABW and of course the ILH were born into this conflict and very involved throughout.

Favourite badge: whilst the 3 ABW slouch hat badges are special, my favourite has to be the 1903 Volunteers headdress badge; unfortunately I only have one collar so the set isn't complete.

regards, Iain

Well, collars were worn in pairs, so you will need another!

Frank, single collars do come up but these actually are very scarce.

If I did buy a pair I could easily sell the single. They also aren't facing
