- British Army of the Rhine fuel coupon, 1986-1987.
Coupons such as these were issued to British soldiers and their dependants for use across the British Zone in nominated fuel stations. They entitled the users to tax-free fuel, a considerable perk of life in the British Army of the Rhine.
Fuel coupons were used by British troops in Germany well past the end of the Cold War; it was only in 2014 that they began to be phased out and replaced by an electronic card.

- Brief description:
- Transfer of regular British Officers of the Indian Army (excluding medical officers) with less than 20 Years Service to the British Army 19 November 1946.
As the date of Indian Independence drew near, it became necessary to make arrangements for the future of British officers of the undivided Indian Army. They had the choice of serving with the new armies of India and Pakistan, transferring to the British Army, or giving up soldiering altogether. This form is an example of that completed by officers in response to a circular outlining the terms agreed for those wishing to join the British Army.
Captain Riddick, who had served in the 6th Rajputana Rifles since 1937, was accepted for service in the Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, reaching the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel before retiring in July 1971.
From papers relating to Colonel G R Riddick, 3/6 Rajputana Rifles 1936-1946 and REME 1947-1956.

- Brief description:
- Silver National Service League Medal, 1905-1921
The National Service League was a pressure group established after the Boer War in response to the challenges faced by the Army during that conflict. It argued that all able bodied men should have some between 2 months and 4 years basic military training in order to be able to provide home defence in the case of an invasion. As time progressed the invasion postulated was that of the German Army.
The League had a number of important military figures as members including Lord Raglan, Lord Roberts and Sir Garnet Wolsley. It also had a number of politicians as memebers, these were mostly Conservative but there were some Liberal MPs too. The League’s plans were not those introduced in 1916 when conscription was adopted for the First World War.
