Stuart - a lovely and specific collection. Please tell your friend - very interesting. What significance is there in the badges with poppies ?

[Robin Lumsden]

Nice collection!

My brother and his family stay in Perth. They tell me that the police there are $hit-hot on catching drunk drivers. (Not that they have any personal experience of this!)

Hi Stuart,

Very nice display, though I am wondering if you are starting to come over to the dark side.

Regards

Brian

I was impressed by the novel way in which the badges are displayed. A little originality has elevated a small and focussed collection into something special, even to someone like me who knows nothing about the merits of individual badges. Congratulations to your friend and thank you for showing the display.

Regards

Brett

Mervyn,

I have asked John about the significance of the poppies.

Robin,

the police are pretty hot on drink drivers all over Oz. There was even some crazy talk of a 0 BAC

Brian,

no am not coming over to the dark side but I do like the police badges.

Brett,

it is a novel method of display but effective.
