I have been looking through a few of my treasures and photographing them.....so I am going to bore you with them.
This needlepoint belt was made by my Grandfather when he was in the trenches in WW1. The date on it is 1916 and he was killed on 1st October, 1916, in the Battle of the Somme.
A close up of the embroidered cards sent by my grandfather to his family....they still have the small cards with them.
This metal box contains a small New Testament with an inscription inside the front cover by Lord Roberts.
War - what a waste of all those young lives that were so precious to themselves and to their families.......and we still have not learned.

What treasures you are showing us and how sad.

Hi Hazel, you should go on 'antiques roadshow' - or to a dealer and have some of this stuff valued, it might need insuring!
