Gifts

On our trips we have been fortunate enough to meet very friendly local Great War enthusiasts, who on numerous occasions, have been kind enough to show us around on 'their' battlefield.
Apart from great memories of those trips they sometimes also gave us items they had found on 'their'  battlefield as a more permanent reminder. Below some of the items given to us.
It speaks for itself that we are most grateful for these valued gifts.
