Armed Forces / Why have so many old posts appeared??

« on: Saturday 21 January 12 12:36 GMT (UK) »

Some of you may know that I was in and out of hospital last year...

This means that I missed a number of posts on the "resource" board that required moving (dereliction of duty!)

As I am now almost back to full steam, I have spent the morning digging through the all the posts.

Many may attract further input, so I have moved them all in case they do!

There is a warning on the resource board asking RC'ers not to post requests on there, but sadly many have done. this means that many questions have gone unanswered...Hopefully if this is so, you may now get what you are looking for!

These were worn on the upper arm and sometimes the back of the tunic.
