Max Poilu Posted 23 September , 2004 Share Posted 23 September , 2004 I have had this Lifeguard folding periscope for a few years and the scratched inscription has always puzzled me. Can anyone help with the unit below the officer's name (I.N --- S.R.)? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Poilu Posted 23 September , 2004 Author Share Posted 23 September , 2004 Thank you Gentlemen, all the old faithful indeed! I guess it is 'chapeau' to Teapots - that must be my man. Confused as I had always read it as IN.............SR and not 1 NSR. It might not show in the picture but next to BEF at the bottom is a date of .......1915. Good to see he made Captain at least.

Guest Pete Wood Posted 24 September , 2004 Share Posted 24 September , 2004 All right, RT gets the brevet, but I deserve a "mention"! Phil B Absolutely. It was easy for me to punch in a name. But without the regiment, there were lots of possibilities. I was just Phil's wing man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
