pylon1357 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 How the heck did manage to avoid a tan in Iraq? Within the first day in Afg, I was burnt to a flipping crisp. I held that burn for the 29 months I was there, plus to 5 month gap I was away. Oh yeah, cool looking cans. Are these reproduction labels available easy, or an arm and a leg?

Guest Fred Karno's Army Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Tan avoidance was easy we Only came out at night lol ,any ways bought them off Evilbay not tremendously expensive about £4 for 10 but better viewed from a distance,but ideal for a display.

Tony Walker Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 For authentic examples of old branded products, from Victorian Oxo to modern choccy bars , you might want to visit the Museum of Brands next time you're in London. It's a fascinating place, and you can spend hours there looking at the various items they have on display. Here's the link to their website: http://www.museumofbrands.com/ By the way, don't blame me if you spend hours in there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fred Karno's Army Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Halfway through completing my next two mannequins for the display,firstly a private from the Yorks & Lancs regiment,and secondly a French field nurse.I was luckily enough to come across the 'Sphinx' head badge (Attatched to the font upper left of the apron) that would denote to foreign troops that the wearer was a translator. And 'wiring up !' Some more relic pieces,also bought a bit of trench art too,so will get a picture of that up later. A busy week all in all .

Guest Fred Karno's Army Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Managed to pick one of these up too with the original pin badge,will go nicely with the home front section of the display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
