[Gouldy]

I have sent him a message to see if i can get the "para" set and puttees in one transaction out of ebay, see what he says, am thinking of buying a Sten to complete the set if i can get a good priced one

[Gouldy]

Hi Jim, the link does not work: give me the item number.

I have bought from him at shows.

Cheers, Ade.

the cap is 53450

No good: this is an Officers quality example.

Basic cut is the same as Other Ranks.

Cheers, Ade.

ah bugger, i saw they looked identical, is it a different material???

I didnt win the correct hat on ebay sadly , it was a little tatty'er than what I would like so didnt go above £30

still on the hunt for a shirt and cap

just ordered the correct shorts though

here are a few more pics and some clear scans of other ones I have

Also a letter from his commander to his wife

[Gouldy]

I can seem to get the letters writing any bigger . i can read it on the scan but when uploaded onto photobucket it resizes it small

I have just bought a picture of his headstone in the Argenta Gap War Cemetary which will be nice to have alongside his medals and pics

Also a letter from his commander to his wife

Nice pics, although it would be nice to see them bigger. The group one is interesting, looks like half of them are either in PT kit or have just come from swimming. The big pic is a classic 1940s 'film star' pose

The letter makes you think. I wonder how many of these letters he had to write?

Do you still want me to do some pics of hose tops, puttees, gaiters and socks?
