    SNH you say, I would say yep as that appears to be an officers pattern badge before they swopped over to the RA badges...oh hang on I think a copy of this will be winging its way to SNH via D/L of Nottinghamshire, who happens to be A - a SNH & B - a personal friend of Col Netley's. Gentleman I believe this will raise the ire of Col Netley, yet alone Col Richmond. Maybe even popped onto Linkedin for good measure....oh I am naughty.

    Just noticed the trousers as well...should these be crimson?

    Nor does he have facial hair so carefully managed that he makes Craig David look like David Bellamy.

    If he's going for a "Hussars" look - they should indeed be crimson.
    Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure there is one less rascal in the world.

    Thank you. Eh little weasel int he? For some reason this pillock has really irked me. Oh I know why, to quote James Mason in Cross of Iron:

    "To my mind there is nothing
    more contemptible
    than stealing the laurels which
    properly belong to a man
    who was killed in action."

    Lets face it a lot of VC's are awarded posthumously.

    Brown. The Waltenkommando are on the case.

    Are the GC & VC he has on proper sized replicas? They look a bit big. VCs in particular always look remarkably little when you see them in museums.
