Default Hello to all

Came across your site from google.

I am hoping to identify and then pass on or sell some items from my late fathers 'collection in a shoe box'

We've kept and cased those items connected to his military service in North Africa and Italy (WWII).

However, there are some items he "RESCUED" when demobbed !

I look forward to chatting / exchanging stories with you all.

Kind regards

Phil

Thumbs down

Hi Phil,

I didn't see your original post.

A belated welcome to the forum from one Phil to another.

Regards,

Phil

Edit: not sure where the thumbs down thing came from!?!

Default Scream

No matter where you are in cyber-space we hear you screaming.

Or is that just me and my tinnitus.

Thank you

Phil

You are welcome, I am not sure why your introduction thread had got no replies, thats very unusual

Phil

Hi Phil, I can never remember if coming from Maidstone makes you a Man of Kent or a Kentish Man, but from whatever side of the Medway they come, anybody from Kent is very welcome here.

I think your post would have got more attention if you had showed us some pictures - any chance of letting us see what you have there.

Cheers,

johnG
