stanleyrbl Posted 28 April , 2016 Author Share Posted 28 April , 2016 The above photograph recently came into my possession i am clueless as to who it may be, can anyone read the writing across the bottom and state what language it is?? which may at leas identify his nationality. I have enlarged the badge but the state of the photograpgh doesn't lend to a good image. Also i cannot get any better image of the buttons. All suggestions gratefully received. It may turn out be ww2 in which case i apologise in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Broomfield Posted 28 April , 2016 Share Posted 28 April , 2016 Looks like Second World War to me, in which case Kent Cyclists ruled out, I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munce Posted 30 April , 2016 Share Posted 30 April , 2016 The handwriting is Portuguese: "um forte abracao de xxxxxxx" (essentially "a big hug from xxxxxxx"). The last word is a name, but unfortunately I can't make it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
