Duncan Posted May 24, 2022 Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) I bought this 1943 dated SSAFA badge to add to my collection because of the wartime date, not paying much attention to the recipient's name. When I came to do a bit of research on the name it turns out it might have had a well-known and well connected owner. It's named in the old style i.e. Mrs then the husband's full name. Unless I'm very much mistaken it's Dame Barbara Cartland's father's name? At least, I can't find any other 'Bertram Cartland' listed in UK ancestry sites, other than him. If it is, it's odd that it ended up for sale on Ebay! Edited May 24, 2022 by Duncan
