I'm Leslie, and I run the website Lesliesguidinghistory.webs.com -- and I'm starting this blog so I can share some of the oddities and curious facts I discover during the course of my researches. S on this blog there are likely to be pictures, snippets, queries and other items.
To begin with, a question I was asked the other day - what colour were unit name tapes in the early days of Guiding? Well, the 1929 uniform catalogue offers 3 background colours - white, navy or khaki, with white being slightly cheaper than coloured. It also advised that unless otherwise requested, the stitching would be in red. That's certainly the case on the 3 early Guide uniforms I have, 2 of which have navy tapes and one white. But I wonder why red stitching?
