There is something both romantic and poignant about it.<br />Savvy, yes one of these days.<br />LB, we rarely see Great War items, although I used to see many of them in France. <br />Tabitha, Yes, I thought the exact same thing about the box inspiring a short story.

Very nice case. <br /><br />Do let me know if you come across any Great War relics, or German or Italian items from WWII.<br /><br />I have a WWI snuff box sitting on my mantle that I picked up at Bermondsey market in 1986 or 1987. I once kept in it the first few quid I earned as a kid, some cufflinks, and the dried remnants of a flower one of my first girlfriends ever gave me.<br /><br />Furthermore, I'm really impressed that you know of the author of Flashman.Laguna Beach Fogeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027025872132699493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-634482722536566879.post-22194807285834520012010-09-21T12:40:24.798-07:002010-09-21T12:40:24.798-07:00yes do invite me when you are down here by SCP so ...yes do invite me when you are down here by SCP so we can pig out at Season 52.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12274781443181176710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-634482722536566879.post-89833342431182889552010-09-21T12:15:48.990-07:002010-09-21T12:15:48.990-07:00What a wondeful post and story!
