harry2111 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 hi all just thought I'd share my nice metal detecting find from the site of a WW1 Canadian Army Service Corps headquarters - a rather nice "Wagon General Service" data plate from Nov 1915. It was found near the site of the former stable block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 TA Ltd could well be Taskers of Andover. The Hampshire County Museum holds their factory records I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
