A Nod To Brent - a friendly thread, filled with frivolity, cream teas and pasties. Longing for the happy days in the South Hams 1947.

Wrong shakoes for 1805.

 

Just sayin'

It was the outside steam pipes that gave it away for me since  everybody knows they weren't fitted with them until 1812.

[Welchester]

I wonder if they only wear one capbadge, and if anyone is left to care why they should wear two............

 

I don't know the answer, but I know the reason (I'm from Gloucestershire); it's so they can be recognized by their own side, because 'The Glosters don't retreat'.

good to see it's in French - obviously some sort of guide about who to shoot at.

[Taz]

Back then didn't the French shoot at just about anyone/everyone?

Good job that the Glosters' 1990 amalgramation didn't happen in steam days, otherwise you would have required a Dean Single to find a splasher long enough.......

 

Sadly they are now just one of The Rifles Battallions.......

Well there is me.......but then I am very old! Battle of Alexandria 1801........and apparently they still wear a second badge at the back when in service dress

[Mallard60022]

Sorry, the heat and sunshine addled my brain.  I should have responded sooner with:

 

"IKB was probably the longest name plate on the Great Western"

 

Notwithstanding the glories of the "Glorious Glosters", that nameplate only existed in the 50s........

Sadly I think the LNER may have had the largest amount of info on a nameplate......check the V2s.

How about D9005?

Surely ANTB has given you vast experience in managing and coping with random thread wanderings.

 

Oh hang on, we're on ANTB, I thought we were on SOS Junction.
