I am part of a local history project group in our town, and this afternoon I was given a chance to see, and hold, a Death Plaque also known as a 'Dead Man's Penny'. |

I had not seen this until now Mau. Strange what people reply to and what they don't isn't it. |

I had never heard of them until recently, there was a regional news story about a family who had obtained one through an inheritance. |

I have my Grandfather's dog tags, which came with me to Belgium yesterday when I visited some of the CWGC cemeteries and the Menin Gate. Bob |

Definitely something precious to hand down through the family and to take pride of place in the home. |

Mau, I am archivist at our Local History Society and at the moment we are researching every single WW1 soldier on our memorial. I have felt very honoured to have had access to Dead Mans Pennies, Medals, Pocket books,Photos and many letters official and personal. The personal ones are so sad as many were written from the trenches and I often sit with a tear in my eye reading them. Makes me appreciate just how lucky I am. <3 <3 |
