It’s always worth a try🤞

…sorry. Perhaps I should have added “make sure you’re sitting down when you search for it!!!”

Here’s the eBay item number: 156649481705
(If it was a Suffolk Yeomanry one it would have already sold😉)
Good luck!

Those jerkins were indeed super. My grandad also had one for wear on his allotment!

I think he is! (despite the miserable surroundings). To me he’s the epitome of the fighting Suffolk. Helmet tipped over, cigarette in mouth, a battered old leather jerkin - a real ‘old sweat’

…and had gallantly rescued his CO from a minefield at Venray 7 weeks before. He later became Quartermaster of the 4th Bn (TA). In his retirement, he was Town Sergeant for Ipswich and the branch Standard Bearer for the Old Comrades Association. In all, a long and honourable service. (2/2)

Well Done!

…the Malayan Emergency.
Book No. 4 is almost done on their armoured service in Tunisia and Italy, so watch this space!

Thanks for the follow and looking forward to the future on here 👍

That’s fascinating. SY went through several resignations post-war, and did revert to Artillery. I’m guessing as you say that they retained some of their Archers, until the RAC assumed the A/Tnk role, then revered back to artillery again. I’ve messaged the original poster to try and find out more.

Me neither! I’d always assumed their left their Archers in Germany?
