Hello.

Attached are some of my great grandfather’s WW2 artifacts. I would be most appreciative if anyone could help me identify some specifics about them.

Thank you in advance!

Edit: I shouldn’t have to say this but, since some of y’all are jumping to conclusions I have to.
I AM NOT A NAZI.
I simply like collecting artifacts from all eras of history. Please stop calling me a Nazi. My great grandpa fought for the Allies. Not the Axis.

Edit2: Holy shit, some of you are mentally challenged. Downvoting me for just asking about some old trinkets and a fucking flag. Get a fucking grip. To those that helped me, thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

WWI Royal Artillery in WW1

1 Upvotes

I am currently writing a Wikipedia article about the Royal Artillery during World War I. In the process, I noticed a discrepancy in the figures regarding ammunition production. For example, while the "Ministry of Munitions" states that approximately 5.4 million shells were produced for the QF 13-pounder field gun, "Statistics of the Military Effort of the British Empire during the Great War, 1914–1920" lists approximately 4.8 million empty shells and approximately 2.3 million filled shells. However, if you add the ammunition for the 13-pounder 6 cwt and 9 cwt, the total comes to 6.7 million shells. Can anyone explain how this discrepancy arose?

What are your thoughts about Duke of Brunswick's Generalship during War of the First Coalition, when he invaded France?
