Tis not a rusty relic, its a piece of history from time before, carried by men of steel into the storm of war, lying in the ground for a hundred years.

Hi guys sorry for the amount of absence but I am back ! Here is my French Adrian helmet. Sadly this one is missing the front badge but has everything else. It is quite dented which may be battle damage or damage from the ground as it was only found in 2015 ! The liner is in pretty good condition and even has markings present. The remanence of the French army blue can be seen on the inside of the helmet. It also has the chinstrap where the soldier left it .

To commemorate D-Day I have some pictures of letters that my great grandfather sent back to his wife during the invasion. He describes how they only get one bath a week and how bad the food was. He was in the Royal Engineers and was tasked with defusing all the bombs and mines that the Germans left behind. He also says in his letters that he was tasked with driving a small tracked vehicle to do some concreting. He also states that he had to begin rifle drill as the enemy were so close. The fourth slide is my great grandfather being rather rude haha (“pulling big boy”)

Here we have a very uncommon British First World War Hand gr***de. The No22 Newtons Pippin Gr***de. This gr***de was invented by Captain Henry Newton who produced them at the Second Army’s Workshops at Armentieres in June 1915. He first came up with the rifle gr***de version which was shaped like a carrot, so it would easily stick into the ground, but there was this hand version made. To use, the cap was struck on a hard surface firing the primer of the case and igniting the safety fuze which gave about 5 secs delay. About 80,000 were produced at Armentieres and they are now very rare. The body casing is painted black but there are no markings. They were produced during 1915 before the Mills bomb became widely available to the Army in France. @ Armentières, France

‼️⚠️For the record I did not realise it may have been a gas shell until I inspected it. It was moved far away from the edge of the forest, Geo referenced and reported to the authorities.⚠️‼️ Possible Diphosgene (Green Cross) gas shell, remains of wine bottles and a hinge presumably off some sort of ammo box. Diphosgene gas is estimated to have caused 85% of the 91,000 deaths attributed to gas in World War 1. Its immediate effects are coughing, and irritation to the eyes and respiratory tract. Subsequently, it can cause the build-up of fluid in the lungs, leading to death.

Here is my MK V11 gas mask. It has various dated parts as they had to be replaced due to ware during the war. The majority of the dates are 1937. It also has the original bag which is named !

Here are some relics I got from around the hawthorn ridge crater. We have a large piece of shrapnel that I actually collected whilst on a school trip there last year, the bottoms of a British shrapnel shell with remains of the main ‘rod’, some shrapnel pellets and a German water bottle.
