First Battalion Devonshire Regiment for East Land Forces : Malaya and Hong Kong 1950 Embroidery

A tapestry for the First Battalion Devonshire Regiment – Far East Land Forces : Malaya and Hong Kong 1950 Embroidery. These embroideries were popular at most army stations – I’ve most several before from soldiers stationed at the British Legation, Peking. Obviously a source of employment or a side hustle for local communities nearby. This is the first one I’ve seen for Malaya/Hong Kong. Given his age I guess “Arthur” could be either a National Serviceman or a regular.
