Day 27 - Big Grass Field....

CRUSADER · Apr 1, 2008

Spent 2 hours (4 man hours) continuing the slog.

Did at least get a Bedfordshire Capbadge in OK condition.

When I start something I always finish. :thumbsup:

Congrats on your capbadge! Are these fields far away or fairly convenient to where you & dad live?

Take care & HH!

5 mins drive, within the parish boundary. One reason to complete is because its LOCAL history to me & we have now done the most comprehensive detector surveys (mapping) in the area & we still have plenty to do.

Its possibly WWI era (I'm not expert on these) Military brass badge which was worn on the cap (cap on your head that is). Bedfordshire is a county in the UK & was the name of the Regiment.
