20, 30 years ago you could barely give Civil Defence and Home Front items away but now it's more sought after and prices have risen. One has to assume that it is the internet that has caused the...

Did he survive WW1 and, if he did, hopefully he wasn't too scarred, mentally or physically?

America did make a valuable contribution to ending WW1 in victory for the allies in 1918.

The UK is only an air-flight away from Australia. Obviously it's up to you what type of accommodation you book but the cost doesn't have to be out of this world.

With all this talk of plastic model kits, it's got me wondering what the longest amount of time anyone has spent making/assembling a plastic model kit?

I've got a kit, The Visible Man, intended...

One would hope that regulations didn't require it to be filled with concrete.

Welcome to the forum.

You could start high and come down if it doesn't sell.

I understood that British made Satchel Charges came in a 37 Pattern style of bag/haversack but does anyone have any images, please?

Is it a satchel charge or something else on the rifleman on the left of the pic?

Thank-you for posting the picture links. Sadly it would appear that they don't work.

You've already have the drawings here on this forum which should give enough information to make or get made the transit chest from scratch. DS Solutions militaria in the UK sell repro hinges and...

My father was fully prepared to serve his country when he was called up in 1952 and was prepared and he expected to be sent to Korea. It's a credit to the army doctors who carried out the medicals on...

I have these various bits of recruitment literature dating to the early 1960's, some of it dated 1962. The rates of pay are quite interesting.
