Hi Billy

Sure, I'll be happy to post some pics. I've not added to the collection for a while but I would always be pleased to see other examples.

I have one for a soldier that I assume is Canadian who must have added the name of every place he stopped at. Sort of a WW1 travel blog...

What makes me think he is Canadian is that he starts at Valcartier and ends up at Ypres and Polygon Wood.

There is a large "Y" (Ypres?) cut into the bowl and "1917" has also been chiseled out. Both these would have had silver letters (or gold...) let into them but they have been "robbed" by some idiot.

A friend has offered to replace them but he is always busy so I might have to get it done elsewhere.

Still a nice record of one man's war.
