Militaria and accessories

[Dougan]

I've seen quite a few shells (shot and live) on wrecks - There was a wreck in Cornwall where dozens of anti-personel shells had broken open, and there were lead balls everywhere....

I've also been on a boat in littlehampton when a guy brought a live shell on board - it started phizzing, so was chucked back over quickly...the captain was not happy :shock:

These are some souvenires from Scapa Flow - Obviously they were NOT found inside any of the German fleet...but found randomly in the sand

The man that rode the horse to visit his cousin the picture is probably the very start of 1915 and is a staged picture, not sure what this horse was made of!

Grandad by the end of the war, this would have been 1919, he looks a lot older than the four years difference between the photographs.
