A small & interesting mix of original 

 

WW-I British Army-related items 

 

in varying conditions as per the photos

 

and left exactly as brought back from France & Belgium

 

over the years..!

 

Part of an on-going acquisition of

a fascinating militaria collection of

The Somme, Verdun & Arras in France

and from the 

Ypres Salient of Belgium

that was carefully built up & curated over a 40-year period.
