Do these things ever go out of style? <<<<<<<<

 

Hi Douglas,

 Nope and I still have mine from the first day I wore it as an armoured corp
zipper head 

 officer cadet 1951. Boy a long time ago and still with the same cap badge!
:-) Yep and still fits! :-) Usually wear it once a year on Nov. 11 at the
cenotaph parade service!

 

IV Princess Louise Dragoon Guards! IV Armoured Car Regiment! Canada. Nothing
like ripping along a highway in a 15 ton Staghound at 80 miles an hour with
twin GMC rear mounted engines and me standing up half out of the turret!!
:-) Whew!!! Like flying low! :-)
