Bit of Both!

Some searching and OFAS for a few. I'm always getting stuff I would love to share but not everyones interested. It just smacks of showing off to some I suppose. [huh]

It's just nice to see something that is getting harder to find or in such good condition these days, I don't think anyone would think of it as showing off. It's historical and it's very interesting.

I agree, it's not showing off. It's sharing things we wouldn't otherwise get to see. Besides, we're your friends.

 

[Story]

Your photos show a six-wheeled Vickers Guy Armored Car (India Pattern)
http://mailer.fsu.edu/~akirk/tanks/India/Ind-VickersGuyIndiaPatternAC.jpg
Designed to meet a requirement for patrols in the northern part of India.
Proving too heavy for the task, the vehicles were converted to artillery tractors.

FANY

First Aid Nursing Yeomanry

The First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (Princess Royal's Volunteer Corps) (FANY(PRVC) - pronounced Fanny) is a British independent all-female unit and registered charity affiliated to, but not part of, the Territorial Army.

It was formed as the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry in 1907 as a first aid link between the field hospitals and the front lines, and was given the yeomanry title as all its members were originally mounted on horseback.

I know exactly what you mean. It's the way you are brought up - the time and place. I find it very difficult to post photos etc. of items I own(or of myself) on the web because of 1940s British working-class cultural inhibitions about exhibitionism. It's a different world today.

Despite being sadly American, I do still always snicker a wee bit at the F.A.N.Y

Yes, I know, it has other connotations here in the UK to the American one, which can raise a smile or a giggle when used. lol
