roughly 50 notes, personally seems a bit high, but others may disagree...

I'd be happy to pay 50 euros (approx £45) for a Penny. 3 names are also a bonus due to the research aspect.

Although most of the information on this link is not available unless you register, it does say that he was from Heywood, in Lancashire, Not the traditional "stamping ground" of the RWF, but it was 1918 after all. http://www.military-genealogy.com/na...r=1&sid=198073 If I were about to buy this item I would be asking for a kind Lancastrian member, with access to the WW1 local papers, to see if there is an obituary, and maybe a photo, of Private Rix from the last month or so of the war. It might even be worth asking how long the Heywood Advertiser has been going, and if they have an archive? http://www.heywoodadvertiser.co.uk/
