Hello good people of the forum.
I hope someone can help me please.
I'm looking for photos of the Ayrshire Yeomanry in WW2 or late1930's.
If WW2, I'm looking for 151 Ayrshire Yeomanry Regiment Royal Artillery.
Group, or better, studio pictures, as clear as possible, especially the cap badge.
I've trawled the internet, seen every book possible to do with the AY, but none have good clear pictures of WW2 soldiers, I've asked the museum, no joy, I've also got a couple of old Comrades Association member on the case, no luck yet.
The reason for this is I'm a cap badge collector, I have many AY griffin cap badges in my collection, the griffin badge was retained in WW2 even though they became an RA unit.
I am very much an anorak when it comes to dating certain badges, and there is one particular AY strike of badge that alludes me, and I want to know when it was issued, if I see this particular badge in a photo of the time scale I'm looking for, it'll answer my question.
I'm part of the Badge Forum also, and have posted a study on these badges.
I hope someone may have photos, or even a badge that belonged to their Dad or Grandad that has provenance, or give a shout out to someone who may have something,anything of help will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks for your time, even for just reading this post.
Chris
