Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

A superb thread Lez, I can smell the history

I'm actually surprise the family would sell it since it is part of their heritage and how proud the aristocrats are with family history. Is there another set of uniforms that the family kept?
Hiya Guys, thanks for the kind comments.
The family sold off her estate. I have all the FANY/ATS/WRAC uniforms. Do not know what happened to her SJAB uniforms from the post war era though?
I believe her medals were not sold?
Cheers, Lez
