WW2 - DESERT RATS - EL ALAMEIN - ABERDEEN VETS ARMOURED GROUPING
An amazing collection of items belonging to Charles A. Simmers.
Originally from Aberdeen this trooper saw service as a tank man in North Africa, Italy and Germany.
During his service he served with different armoured units and there are patches and shoulder slides to them in the group inc.,
Desert Rat Jerboa,
RTR and 4th Indian Brigade shoulder slides.
21st Tank Brigade patch mounted on khaki formation sign.
RTR cap badge and collar.
XRH shoulder title pair..
Sharpshooters collar,..
El Alamein vets medal.
Also a period photograph of him in uniform in what I suspect is Italy( dated Sept 1943 on back ) and his Soldiers Pay book which is very interesting.
All the above in the period card ration box it came to me in.
Fantastic straight from the family grouping I bought over 40 years ago and has been part of my collection since.
I am now letting this and similar quality items go.
These sort of groups do not turn up anymore.
