I already passed my father's stuff to my son-in-law, who takes better care than me and is doing some local expositions on this.
And just to give some of you some new ideas: my first-born grandson is only 4 months old now and he already put 1 footh and 1 hand on a concrete helmet. More info: www.facebook.com/GemeenteHam (and look for "Benn")
and sorry it's not in English, but pictures also can tell a lot.
For your info: this week, 100 years ago we had the first gass-attack in Ypres (WO I).
but on the other end I'm also asking myself if WO III has not already started...

Remembered here as our local regiment helped form the rearguard during the evacuation from Gallipoli.
We will remember them.
