I have taken a moment to step away from the Evercircular letters and am working through Minutes, Troop reports and camp records from the 13th. These cover many of the years from 1931 – 1951.
Many other records remain in their HQ which I will work through at a later date.
Covering WW2, I can see from a preliminary skim, they have many details that will flesh out existing reports.
The records will be returned to the 13th for safe keeping and, I hope, someone to compile a more complete history than I can commit to at present.
One other item failed to shout its presence from the wall – this flag which is brown, as was their original scarf, and has since faded into this uniform shade. The scarf and the flag were altered about 100 years ago. I struggled to take an adequate photograph in the available light and will try again. The flag was in use in the 1930’s. It may be the original.
