Unmthorpe Chairman Regimental Museum Since the issue of the 1985 Delhi Spearman the following items have been acquired by the Museum: A. By Purchase L 8 Original drawings by Colonel Billy Tmman. These were acquired at the auction of the contents of Biddlesdon Park, the home of the late Colonel Badger 12th Lancers. Unfortunately a host of Mili- taria dealers attended the sale. and we were unable to compete with them for other items of 12th Lancer interest, including Colonel Badger‘s collection of 12th Lancer Medals. Even his uni- forms, riddled with moth. achieved very high prices. The drawings are cari— catures of 12th Lancers, both officers and NCOa. including one of Captain Charles Bryant who was Adjutant in 1914 and took part in the Charge at Moy. 2. Drawing for 9th Lancer Drum Banner of 182A 3. 2 Drawings of design for thh Lancer lance cap plates circa 1830. These two items (2 and 3) were purch- ased from a dealer; they were part of the records of Hawkes the Military Tailors. No 2 is of particular interest as it is the actual tailor‘s pattern. 3. lly Glft 1. Watercolour of a daimler armoured car and the ‘Ypres Alphabet’ both by Colonel Truman 12th Lancers, These were presented by Mrs K Shuttleworth, Colonel Truman‘s niece whose brother. the late Major Dick Truman who also served in the 12th Lancers. 2. 9th Lancer Standing Orders of 1924.
