Re: Sharpes Footlocker
Hi Reg, I would tend to think it will be a footlocker for a member of the Leicestershire Regt. My reasoning being this is that there really would have been enough room to paint the full name of the Regt if it were for the Leinster's. But to paint in the full name of the Leicestershire Regt, well that would not fit.
I would tend to think it will be WW1 in date, as the 4th Battl was converted to the RA pre WW2, if indeed it was the Leicesters.
Cheers, Ade.
