I purchased a copy of the history - OUTSTANDING!
Now is probably a good time for regimental histories to be written since a lot has happened in the last sixty years. Unit members can see that they have been part of events that matter.

There is some very interesting information on badges in the history as well, for example the scarce brass/pewter bi-metal officers badges made in England during WW2 by a group of new officers commissioned from the ranks and the surplus used for years afterwards as RSM cap badges.
