Plymouth fan here but I wandered if anyone could shed any light on this programme I have received in a a job lot

The match was played in Egypt between the RAF and Army for the Brighton and Hove Albion Cup ( presented by Mrs V E Groome) in 1950.

The programme is listed for sale on eBay...link below, but I would be intrigued to know if there is any information a Seagull Historian might have on how and why your club ended up with a a military trophy in Egypt!

Nick a draw v City please
