More regimental "silver"....
All most beautifully hand-engraved. Try getting that done today!
I have a nickel silver spoon that is engraved "119/ RFA" within a shield. I only bought it because of the engraving.
I then chanced upon a book by an American who, during the opening moves of WW1, had placed his car at the disposal of the British HQ. The book ("From Mons to Ypres with French" by Frederic Coleman) had a mention of the author meeting with Captain Grenfell (?) who had won the VC whilst saving the guns of the 119th Bty RFA!
Was my spoon there I wonder? We'll never know...
