[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 258824, member: 22"]Jellalabad was the name of the regiments barracks in use until 1999, it was named after one of their famous battles. The Battle of Jellalabad in 1842 was an Afghan siege of the isolated British outpost at Jellalabad about 80 miles east of Kabul. The siege was lifted after five months when a British counterattack routed the Afghans, driving them back to Kabul. I think its a hobbyists or soldiers wifes work, too big for a blazer badge. I`d tidy it up and frame it.[/QUOTE]
