[vintage hunter]

Could some one please translate these markings for me? I case they aren't readable in the photo's they are 2 SP COY COLDM GDS best I can tell & C/63 QLR. Thanks, VH

I would say
1. 2 SUPPORT COMPANY COLDSTREAM GUARDS as that is their abbreviation with the M at the end
2. GREEN LABEL - C COY? 1ST BATTALION THE QUEENS LANCASHIRE REGIMENT

On 1 July 2006, the 1st Battalion, Queen's Lancashire Regiment became the 1st Battalion, Duke of Lancaster's Regiment. The 1st Battalion, QLR, was last based at Belfast Barracks Osnabrück, so in short now a disbanded Regiment, but the history goes on!!


Hope that helps

I think this is 1st Queen's Lancashire Regiment C Coy, which was BFPO BAOR 24 - Iserlohn/Menden. If you look at the history
