o j kirby Posted 22 May , 2021 Share Posted 22 May , 2021 Hello, Can anyone advise me as to what this plaque may be from? It has an association with one of the most daring events in WW1. On the rear is punch stamped " Souvenir H M S Vindictive Zeebrugge April 22 & 25 Ostend May 10 1918" The plaque measures 140 by 75 mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
