WW1 brodie opinion needed
Graham B replied to Cesare's topic in Helmets of the British & Commonwealth Forces
I am no expert but it looks similar to a WW1 M1917 USA 'Doughboy brodie' helmet. -

Two cased MVK3 Bayern
Graham B replied to Hans Kondor's topic in German Empire: Orders, Awards & Decorations

The Silver War (Wound) Badge
Graham B replied to GWilliamson's topic in Orders, Awards & Decorations
A vertical pin badge as well as an early horizontal pin badge, very nice. What is the date on the certificate? -
Grimlin13, Thanks. Munich April 1915. They probably are Bavarians then.

Any ideas on these?
Graham B replied to Christopher T's topic in Uniforms, Equipment & Clothing Headgear

Richard, Most UK medals are usually named, unfortunately not the Air Force Cross or the Distinguished Service Order.

Thanks Richard. I have no information on the Air Force Cross and the Distinguished Service Order. For the others I have some documentation, some more than others.
