Anyone any clues as to why I may have one of these. ??? It may have been a good gig as in the fact I dont remember it... or coming into posession of some foreign matelots hat ribbon. A bit worrying actually.
Answers on a postcard please  |
I have translated the writing on this hat ribbon and informed Aa Aa by PM not to wear it particularly anywhere near a Commando initiation ceremony as it is in fact an invitation and he will be very sore if anyone took him up on the offer.

That's not even a stone frigate, more of a wooden one at that location! Certainly the farthest one from the 'oggin that I know of...
Big golf balls though!
