Sentimental Journey was formed in 1995 by Ian Durrant, a
collector at that point for over 20 years.
Ian served in the Territorial Army for about nine years
and in a mixture of units; Royal Artillery, HSF, Infantry and Royal Signals. At
heart he is still a Gunner (this picture was taken while serving with 201 Field
Battery in 1988), and therefore collects RA uniforms and associated items as
well as British WW2 homefront. Included in the collection were a number of
vehicles and a 25Pr Field gun and Limber, although in recent years most have
been sold, only the QL remains now which requires full restoration (again!).

uniforms from 1938-1965, and an ex serving member of the Royal Air Force.
In turn her father was a Radar technician before her in
the same service. |
