The last known address on CWGC is Blaenavon, Mon

Does this tie up with a branch of the photographers?

Scrimnet doubts very much that it is regimental colours...

He has sent this link of references though
http://www.frontiernet.net/~ericbush/MiSh/Regt.html

Also - don't forget that the material is old and the colours tend to change over the years so reds become orange and blues become green etc

Personally I doubt the regimental colour theory and I think it is just nice striped material

LOTS of pictures of Blaenavon on here!

I wonder if Nicholas senior or Florence feature in any of the old ones? (Eg brass band 1913)
