muckaroon1960 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Just recently acquired a British Navy Winter hat and HMS Glowworm Tally seperately. Have attached the Tally and not the easiest thing to do? Not sure as to the age of the hat or the tally but looks good in my hat/helmet collection. If you go to the section "Great Britain/ Royal Navy History" I have posted an item with reference to my Uncle "Stoker 1st Class Wilfred James Findon" who was KIA aboard the Glowworm off Norway April 1940.

Sailor Ed Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Nice find but of course you know the tally would not be wartime wear. Sailor Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailor Ed Thanks, yes I know they would have worn a plain "HMS" tally but I have this in my collection with reference to my Uncle who served and was killed on the Glowworm. regards, Muckaroon.

Chris Boonzaier Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 What an incredibly small world... my wifes Grandfather was wounded on the fight with the Glowworm... but he was on a German Destroyer!! Do you have a Photo of your uncle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Strange but true! Coincidences are, I think, proof that the 'greater power', however you choose to define that, has a sense of humour, if occasionally black humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odulf Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 The tally looks to be a modern reproduction, this can be verified when looking a the reverse, in the 1980s a new manufacture/weave was used and the gold has a "stay-brite" look and feel.
