As you who follow the museum on twitter (and why would anyone not be following
@chathmuseum?) we were recently given a huge collection of programmes and other items going back to 1944.
The Charlton items we're keeping but we have a lot of other non-Charlton items to find homes for. We can't really have hundreds of Millwall programmes at the Valley.
One of those item was an oddity but it reminded us of the friendship with another club Dundee FC.
The item is a programme from a game between the BAOR Combined Services XI and Dundee from 1946

BAOR is the British Army of the Rhine, the name given to the occupying forces in Germany post world war two.
With hundreds of thousand service men in Germany the plan was to bring over UK teams to entertain them.
Once such game was Dundee v a combined team, made up of professionals still in the forces it seems.
Annoyingly for Dundee fans the Army got it wrong
The museum have given the programme to Kenny as we feel that that is a good home for it.
But it got us thinking about the 80s friendship between Dundee and Charlton fans and those half and half ski hats.
We've got a couple of plain Charlton ones in the museum but no half and half ones.
There were a lot of Rangers and Celtic and @SE7toSG3 claims there were Dundee and Charlton one's too. Charlton and Brazil or am I dreaming?
How many others were there and who's willing to donate them to the museum?
