- Selwyn Featherston Toogood was a New Zealand radio and television personality. (Wikipedia) He created the new Game show called "It's in the Bag" in which contestants were bidding against the host for prizes.

Research Notes
Selwyn was a part of the 6 Anti Tank Company Reinforcements. This was attached to either with 6th Field Regiment, New Zealand Army, World War II or 7th Anti-Tank Regiment, New Zealand Army, World War II. I have taken a guess and placed the unit I believe fits in the category list above
