Good to see it and with its card folder and envelope. As you mention, interesting that he was formerly RFC before Infantry, if anything the other way round would be more common I think.

What a great pick up mate! It's great that someone like yourself found this, a grouping like this should be preserved.

Always a shame when you have to sell items, but there would be little or no collecting if nothing got sold. You could perhaps try offering it for sale on the forum here before going to the bay. Though interesting, not one I would buy unless very cheap as I am trying to stick to Welsh regiments, though often failing. Sadly money is tight for many of us, hopefully you can make a profit on it.
