Also included are some excellent photographs of the badges on the downs, information on how to become a member of our society and, also incorporated, are two postcards showing the badges on the downs and the war graves at Fovant church,

The following is a list of the suggested minimum donations for these items, including all postage and packing.

Prince Edward, the RWY and regimental Guidon

HRH The Earl of Wessex Becomes Our New Patron

At our service in 2008 our President , General Sir John Wilsey, was pleased to announce that Prince Edward had honoured the Society by accepting our invitation to become our Patron; this gesture very much underlines Prince Edward’s interest and support for the work of the Fovant Badges Society. One of the badges is that of the Royal Wiltshire Yeomanry, a constituent unit in the Royal Wessex Yeomanry of which Prince Edward is the Royal Honorary Colonel. The photo shows Price Edward as guest of honour at the 2007 Annual Drumhead Service inspecting members of the RWY.
