Paul R Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 And finally, some of his bringbacks. He also has a ton of post cards, which outline some of the destruction and etc of the Western Front. Too many to post, unless there is some interest.

Hugh Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Maybe you could show us a sampling of the more interesting post cards. Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 A Cigarette case. Nice momentos to have of a WW1 relative, thanks for sharing them. I am not being critical but I believe this silver colored case is for a razor and not cigarettes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 I will go through and post some of the better post cards within the next day or so. You know, that could be could be a razor case. I was just speculating on the purpose. It would be cool of the contents were still in there.

Herman Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Paul, perhaps some nice pictures of both his medals would be fine. Herman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 I wish I had his medals... :-( I am going to purchase some contemporary examples, including the clasps he was entitled to, and frame them up. I think that he was buried with his medals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
