The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
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
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Thanks Steve! That would be great!
There is one in particular I would like to find. It is a gilt "FS" cap with the ATS badge supended under it. The same maker used this badge in many forms with different regt/corps badges under it.
Cheers, Lez.
Hello,
What a comprehensive collection of ATS badges ! Well done
Kind regards
Alex
Thanks Steve.
I have some other sweetheart type items to show. But our camera needs new batteries. I will get Ade to get some new ones this weekend.
Cheers, Lez.
I have a few sweetheart pins/badges as well.
( not ATS and not USAAF wings ! )
Perhaps a new thread.........?
Regards,
Steve.
I would love to see them
Another sweetheart type item.
It is a foil backed picture of the ATS cap badge.
These foil backed pictures were a popular item in the 1940's and the troops used to make them themselves. The foil is stuck to the back of the glass then the other areas are painted out.
Cheers, Lez.
A less than ideal pic I know. It is hard to photograph due to the reflections in the glass. So you can see my conservatory roof
A large drinks serving tray. The glass has been painted brown to look like a wood grain effect. Again "home made" and not commercially bought.
I can just imagine the girls having tea from this tray sitting in their billet.
Cheers, Lez.
