Sold this off a year ago but still have the photos. I got it from the vets grandson over 15 years ago.

 

Wounded twice. Once by gas and once by HE shell burst.

 

After the war he joined the Governors Troop Cavalry.

great time capsule

 

You mention time capsule. The newspaper that was at the bottom of the trunk was from 1930. That must have been when he packed it away.

Thanks John for filling me in. I've been collecting for 48 years and I didn't know that.
