Very interesting, your collecting interests are quite eclectic.

Sorry Thomas, I have no idea this is one of about 50 WW1 photos I had, some had various code letters on the reverse but no dates. There were quite a few in snow conditions probably the 1916 winter?

Silver-plate trinket box studded and lined in green velvet. The top mounted with a Scottish thistle and the town badge of Soissons, to the four corners a fleur-de-lis and to the four sides a thistle motif. To commemorate the 300 dead of the 15th Scottish Division who fought alongside the French 23-28 July1918 in an action near Buzancy in the Soisson sector. The French General in command ordered the engineers of the 17th Division to erect a memorial to the Scots a simple pyramid with a thistle and rose decoration. Inscribed to the front.
Here will flourish forever. The glorious thistle of Scotland among the roses of France. |

Do you stabilise your coins with olive oil perchance?

Hi GTB,
No I dont olive oil is a mild acid that eventually eats into bronze coins. For bronze/alloy coins I use a small amount of renaissance wax, for silver coins I use nothing. Ron. |

WSS ? QUOTE] Hi Ron, I do like the ship photos in your collection, thanks for posting many of them. I too have quite a large collection of pre 1WW (& 1WW also) ship photos & will eventually get around to posting some of my collection. No idea what WSS might mean - being in Port Said perhaps an Arabic designation? Best for 2017! Bryan |
