Family pics

Post by Robert45 »

My father-in-law who has passed left me some souvenirs of his service.

One of them seems to be a mark IV. He spent most of his time in Russia in '42 and '43. He was the radio guy next to the driver.

I am going to try and make the mark IV I have like the picture.

Yes, thank you for sharing Robert :thumbup:
You didn't have to cover the emblem for our benefit, I think we're all grown up here and look at it historically.

Mick I was thinking how its a pity that an award for gallantry has to be obscured for reasons of political correctness.
Although from this particular ex-serviceman I never rated medals all that highly indeed I sold one for the dollar equivalent of £14 to buy a few beers :problem:
I wouldn't recommend it, The Sgt Major wanted to know where it was on the following Queens Birthday Parade. :{
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
