My great uncle's name is listed here in this photo at the War Memorial Roll of Honour WWI 1917 Belgium
I left the people in the back ground in this photo to show the depth and relative size of that section of the wall

nice
my father was in the occupation forces in Japan
some time back I did pick up a shoulder clothe badge British Commonwealth Occupation Forces' from a coin/militaria show
I framed it myself
it looks very home done

it is also another reason why I collect the 1946 penny as they were minted to send to Japan for the soldiers
the coins were sent over for canteen money etc

and then they were subsequently sold to the locals for the copper in a metal hungry post war country - they were worth more to sell than to spend on beer at the canteen
the end result is the low numbers of 1946 pennies that are available today

Not a coin, but a badge issued to Australian and British soldiers.

great topic to start Trout
it has been nice popping in to today to see how our defence forces are immortalised in coins & medallions, tokens, badges

I've been sifting through my father's war service records tonight
a fitting day to remember him
