patje70 Posted 22 March , 2011 Share Posted 22 March , 2011 Sabine 72 once made a topic around the bandoleer but nobody could give a straight answer. It has nine pouches and is marked 1917,and there is no extra space between 4 and 5 like in most British bandoleers. Regards Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greatbeanbags Posted 21 April , 2011 Share Posted 21 April , 2011 Decided that although not related to me or my family that I should ensure that Pte. 3324 Henry Hutchins, Oxs & Bucks Light Infantry & DVR T3-024804 John Williams, ASC are always remembered.......their memorabilia now suitably displayed for hanging in my 'old soldiers' gallery at home.

Khaki Posted 21 April , 2011 Author Share Posted 21 April , 2011 Very nice displays with effective use of colours and double matting. Would you mind giving us some details on what the documents are. Thanks khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatbeanbags Posted 21 April , 2011 Share Posted 21 April , 2011 Very nice displays with effective use of colours and double matting. Would you mind giving us some details on what the documents are. Thanks khaki Henry Hutchins Medal card, War medals (War Service & Victory from WW1 & Defence medal from WW2), his named Dog tags & some French coins from 1916. An Ox & Bucks Light Infantry Cap badge. Gold & Silver YMCA Albert watch chain fob cricket medals of his from between the wars....the YMCA had a team in the Oxfordshire County Cricket leagues then. Also a YMCA Gold medal with 5 bars (25 years service). Amongst Hutchins memorabilia was a Lily Cap Badge with moto 'Silcut Lilum'. Through this Great War Forum the badge has been identified as one belonging to the Magdalen College School Officer Training Corps. The OTC was formed in 1908 so maybe he was in the OTC when a pupil before WW1? The small picture is believed to be him sometime after WW2 as an old man. John Williams War Medals (1915 Star, War Service & Victory) & 2 Medal cards. ASC shoulder titles & Cap badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchbarge Posted 25 May , 2011 Share Posted 25 May , 2011 Absolutely fantastic displays - thanks for sharing.!! They look to be in wonderful condition. Cheers, S>S Thanks, SS. I've been collecting for over 40 years. The eight Imperial German uniform groupings above in very good condition. They are complete (from the waist up) and all items (headgear, belts, jackets) are unit coordinated (except for holsters). They are also all identified to their original owners. I have spent a great amount of time researching the CVs of these soldiers (two are German nobility). I doubt I could find all the bits today even if I had the cash to buy them. In the last few years feldgrau has almost dried up on the market. Helmut Weitze gets the occassional M1910 uniform but at astronomical prices. If I can figure out how to reduce the size of my photos I'll post my Allied uniforms groupings tomorrow. Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trajan Posted 25 May , 2011 Share Posted 25 May , 2011 Members might like to know of the oddest setting I have yet seen of a display of WWI militaria... In a shoe shop in Ankara, Turkey! The walls are hung with various bits and pieces of military equipment in a variety of conditions (including some suspiciously live-looking cartridges in corroded striper clips...!), all of it allegedly from Canakkale/Gallipoli! I saw these things a month or so back (when out shopping with the family) and among other items I quickly noted at the time were a couple of UK field caps, one I am pretty certain with a Lancs badge; odd French/German/UK and Turk bayonets in varying conditions, the iron bits of rifles, etc. OK, before anyone rushes to remind me of what I should do about all of this, I am aware of my responsibilities here (even though I am knew to the GWF) and I DO plan to go to the shop again sometime in the summer and see if I can sweet-talk them into looking at all this stuff more closely and record it properly - or at the very least let me take some photos. They did let me check on a Mauser bayonet when I was there the last time, so who knows? Mind you, I might have to buy a pair of shoes... - not cheap in this particular shop as they are all designer imports! Trajan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
