Bayonet Battle badge - Sweetheart ?
Can anyone help me with the inscription on the blade of the Bayonet Battle badge / Sweetheart please.
In the past I have seen others with WW1 battle locations before but never this one: BLANK GHE Many thanks Destro |

Hello Destro
I can't help identify the location (if it is one) but there seem to be quite a few of these 'sweetheart' bayonets around with that name on them. Try 'googling' 'Blank Ghe'; quite a few come up but unfortunately no identification of the place is made. Roger |

Bayonet
Hi Roger
I also looked on Google and found others the same but with no other information, thanks for looking. Regards |

The only thing I can think of is that the GHE might refer to the Battle of GHELUVELT in October 1914, but what BLANK refers to I've no idea.

Could it Blank Ghe be a short form, or even a mistake, for Blankenberge?
Blankenberge is a coastal town in Flanders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blankenberge
