Buster Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Got this new item today, as you can see it's a ww1 death memorial plaque to Thomas Cram from Tillicoultry. i remember picking these up for around a £1 or less in the barras , pity those days are long gone. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Do the WW2 medals have any connection to this? And how did you mount them? I am always very apprehensive about pinning or glueing things, some people have even holed the death plaques earlier. The place named above is in the Arras sector. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buster Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 The ww2 medals have no connection, I just dont have another case for them yet, will wait till l have more stars before buying another, the items are only laying in the case as its laying flat. Yea I have sen the plaques with hols in, seen o ne with a hanging chain when searching for one, I am also going to get the princess Mary Christmas tin to put in the case. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 There are still a few collectibles around of Christmas themes, even if not the time of year. I got my Queen Mary Christmas Box about 20 years ago in a market in Hamburg - the other is a cigar case, a present to the 5. Army at Verdun from Crown Prince Wilhelm, Christmas 1916., the portrait has a slight chip to the corner. Another interesting souvenir, a Christmas Card and at the same time a menu and evening programm for the Deutscher Offizier Club in London pre-WW1. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
