My Collection

I have been collecting Trench Art for a couple of years.
Mainly Royal Engineers stuff, for my great grandfather.
And K.O.S.B, Highland Light Infantry, Queens Own Cameron Highlanders and Black Watch, for his four brothers who also died in the Great War.I have all their cap badges, and silks for each regiment.And a Black Watch Hackle.

Some shrapnel I found in Ypres.
A Princess Mary 1914 Christmas tin, Bullet Dagger with YRPRES on it, R.E Shell Jug (French Shell)
A ink pen, post cards, WW1 Helmet, lighter, bullet lighter with R.E Button, R.E Buttons, R.E Match Box Holder x 2 and Repro stuff Tommy would have had.

I have started to by WW2 Medals, for my two grandfathers, and I have cap badges too.
And will have a look if I can find anything to do with Burma.

Christmas is coming so I will have some more Trench Art I hope.
