Bonjour,

 

I found few years ago this atypical souvenir awarded to Lcl J.F. BURKE by his officers when he was the 4/11 CO. Lcl J.F. BURKEgave strict orders against any display of fireworks, shooting or anys such action on the New year eve. At midnight, a number of flares were seen about his HQ compound "Hill34 Post of the Corps". He received soon this souvenir made with a piece of ammo crate and an used flare from his joker officers.
