museumtom Posted 15 November , 2013 Author Share Posted 15 November , 2013 Belonged to Captain William (Pat) Armstrong. 10th Hussars Killed at Arras in 1917. Brodie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wainfleet Posted 15 November , 2013 Share Posted 15 November , 2013 Oh..... I also thought at first the sign must be 29th Division, but 10th Hussars were part of 3rd Cavalry Division. I don't know what the sign is, but I'm fairly sure it's not 3rd Cavalry Div. A lot of the signs in use mid-war never got recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
