A few years ago his daughter donated his entire collection of RASV Membership badges to the Heritage Collection – over 100 members/guest and ladies badges. They had been diligently stored by Harold in envelopes each containing a decade of badges (1930s-2010) and each envelope inscribed with details of every badge.
