Permanent Pass

I've found yet another large stash of old army photographs and documents in a draw in the spare bedroom. One of the items is dad's old army Permanent Pass issued by the 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars firstly on the 1st April 1950 then revalidated on the 11th May 1951 (Close examination of the date stamp used shows Mai which is French for May.)
