 | The nails are looking somewhat short at the moment after i ripped most of them off whilst cutting down a willow. I am very proud of the little collections i have amassed, problem is most of the items have now gone through the roof in cost so not currently collecting them till the bottom out again. As to the postcards, Andy they were mass produced in places like Paris in order to sell them to the Allied troops on leave. You can get little cards and the handkerchiefs. i was lucky enough to get one still in its wax paper envelope with a very delicate embroidered handkerchief inside the card. Some of those cards i don't personally like but I tend to try and buy all those a dealer has sent from one person home to keep the collections together. Costs a bleeding fortune. As to a picture of me then i may eventually get around to putting one up. maybe.

 | Look out SP, the whole thing might be broken in a minute. :-) I was about to say I didn't think I had been as brave as to post some photos but then I remembered that I did last week! What were we talking about again? :-) Looking forward to your pics, SP.

| SP's collection. This is a test. The database error is caused by the size of the original file. I have resized to 75%

| Nice. I particularly like the knife. And the match-box gives a good indication of relative sizes. Is that an original matchbox too, SP?

| I don't really know Kyt. Just had a look. VULCAN Matches. Made in Sweden. John Masters & Co LTD London & Glasgow. The Match Box has a 1919 Penny on it. Very faded, where the thumb must have been while the match was struck/striked. Last edited by sgt petts; 19-10-2007 at 04:46 PM.. | ||||||||||||||

You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?
