Very nice, I particularly like the Havercake Lads, well done!

Now it was never going to last as I was massively punching above my weight, but I rode the wave of success with the delightful 'Claire' long enough to be given the attached by a very elderly Aunt of hers.
They had been collected by this ladys much older sister, as a girl during the First War.
They are - if the lady was to be believed - a small time capsule, that had literally not seen the light of day for many, many years.
For your interest and comments guys. The small artillery ball button interestingly has a Victorias crown. I know very little about Canadian badges and there also appears to be a small American button.
Regards all
