Title: Im Back!
Post by: scrimnet on Tuesday 18 April 23 11:05 BST (UK): After a while...

Yes I know...its been some time...Ive managed to get back into the forum.

Lots of things have changed, and the major one being...Ive had a book published on looking at, dating and identifying military cap badges and uniforms by Pen and Sword books.

Some of you may have missed me, others less so, but Im here again!

Many plans failed the first contact test!

Welcome back Scrimmers, thought I hadn't seen much input from you. Not that i've done so much myself as it happens.

Hope your book has lots of pictures ;D ;D ;D, Many books picture some and just give descriptions of others, especially variations of badges.

Post by: Andy J2022 on Wednesday 19 April 23 20:51 BST (UK): Great book scrimnet. I haven't finished reading it yet but I like the way it's laid out - very accessible for family historians and those who try to help them identify the regiments their ancestors served in.

Excellent Thanks!!

Its the first to break the order of precedence...Its so much easier to compare and contrast the badges now.
