Anyone would be better that Trudeau.

Tommy says that I come from a military background because I served, my father and 3 uncles served in the second war with one uncle killed. My grandfather and a great uncle served with the grandfather wounded and after 9 months in hospital released from service in 1916 and the great uncle killed in 1917. The two silk screens are from the Family bible so I wonder if the one that served in these Regiment make it home Also had two great uncles on the mothers side that served in the Royal Navy in the first war. Both made it home after the war.

To Mark and Art. Do you think those two silk's above would have any value to a British historian or military collector?

I would think they' be of interest and value to a collector, an internet search should give you an idea of their worth, plus pointers as to who might want them. Tommy here might know more about it being in the business himself.

Good advice from Mark. Look into an internet auction or Ebay for ideas. I recently sold different items that went to Sweden & Tasmania that way. Age, condition, rarity, all factor into the value, if you are not looking to sell, a museum would take the donation of such items.

To have had those two silks you would have had to be in those Regiments during the Crimean War so that's the time frame you have to check Tommy. I did check Ebay and nothing like it so must be really rare.

Sorry to disappoint you Arthur I have been very busy looking after the wife and having contractors in remodelling the bathroom to the tune of 30k. Today I was out doing the grocery shopping and picking out and paying for a new fridge, stove washing machine and clothes dryer. Right now the wife hasn't even see the remodel because she is on high levels of oxygen 24/7 and can't do stairs yet so has to you use the downstairs washroom. She was in hospital for 21 days with pneumonia and now have all her meds in blister  pack just so I can keep up with all of them. As for the tank on my front lawn, Trudeau had it picked up and shipped to Ukraine.

My grandfather’s second regiment in WW1. After the war they were amalgamated with  the 21st Lancers, which annoyed my grandfather and the 17th no end because they arrived at the party with no battle honours to their name. The 17th joked that their regimental motto was, though shalt not kill

Well as you can see Art they has all kinds of Battle Honours on their flag or Guidon which also can be called Colours.

We had a British exchange officer with us in Germany  who was with the 17th/21Lancers. He was also SAS. He almost drown me one March swimming on a fast moving river that was free of ice. We had web gear and helmets on so you can see the problem especially when you freeze up when you first enter the cold water and don't seem to be making any progress.

 I wish her all the very best.

It's good to have you back to counter the Trump nonsense we're hearing. Some of what you say is nonsense too, but it equals out.
