I have been looking for the metal badges , which adorned the Main Gates
of Hilsea Barracks and those from the Officers ' Mess Drive Gates , but without success .
They
are supposed to have been sent here before
the Barracks were finally evacuated but cannot now be traced . I suppose they were not left w behind for you ? Strange that so heavy a consignia ment should vanish without trace - if in fact it did come here !!
