Pul - I am green with envy. And I had the audacity to think I once was an "advanced" CIV Collector.
Poor me. And thank you for showing these. BP

Wow! What a cavalcade!!! It would be great if a signature on a card could be matched to a QSA in someone's collection?

Linneyl - Dunnboer has done that with a match to a CIV Group to Sgt. P. Rust I used to own. And now I wish I still owned the Group...What a price dunnboer would have to pay !!!!!!!

Picking up on one of dunnboer's comments in his opening post, never was so little done by so few for so many accolades!

A really remarkable collection of CIV memorabilia, dunnboer! Thank you for sharing with us.

I missed one! This is a more substantial souvenir booklet of 24 pages and includes details of the banquet, Paddington CIV's roll of honour (28 names from the 18th Middlesex Rifle Volunteers, 11 names from the 3rd Middlesex Artillery, 9 names of other Paddington residents serving with the CIV and 3 names of the St Mary's Hospital Contingent). The last page is a list of all the St Mary's Hospital Staff who served in South Africa in a variety of other units.

By any chance is the following man in the booklet......
