Tony Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Jock, I have a complete one somewhere, my mum was going to bin it but I remember collecting them when I was little so kept it. Don't know where it is now though. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jock Auld Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Tony when would it date from? Chris, I guess so, Soltau used to be the Bde HQ Garrison until the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter monahan Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Yes, I recall them coming out about the time I was in univ - mid/late '70s - but never bought a set as I had no $ and what I did have was saved for real badges. Quite possible brought over by a trooper or sent to him by his mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Peter, they were free in the UK, all you had to do was fill up at Texaco and you got a badge for a certain amount of gallons/litres. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Could be. I may be wrong but by the time I saw them out here in the colonies, I recall there being a price attached. Possibly re-sales? That's a looong time ago and I've been hit on a head a few times since then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
