WOW, super items! I was just in Normandy for the past two weeks and have a new appreciation for battlefield relics. Thanks much for posting!

Man, nice haul! Thanks for sharing  👍

Pretty cool!   -Ski

So having no patience, I took paint thinner and steel wool to the shell and the spray paint melted right off. Unfortunately, the paint covered surface rust so it will need additional work to clean up. I understand these were primed in black? 

That´s an amazing group of patches and medals, thanks for sharing!

And I assume the Army shell was repainted with that tan paint. Best way to strip it off? 

You got it.  I think Foulds could have been transferred due to combat fatigue.  He was an original in his battalion when it shipped overseas in 1915 and you know how long those infantry guys lasted.  He was a "lucky" one.  His medal card does not show a Silver Wound Badge, so he wasn't wounded at any point.  Thanks for the comments.   -Ski

Two are wearing it, France May 1940 the one you can plainly see, with another in the right foreground  holding his rifle where you can see the visor of the type.

Could the stripe be bullion thread that has tarnished? Looks like private first class missing a star and leading private. 

Mike,   Thank you for the reply. I totally get the "soak like a sponge" issue. I see a few have sold on ebay, but didn't know if it was worth buying the box to get a decent deal. Like I need more un-sellable surplus in my garage.  

I have 2, a repainted army shell and a green navy missing the insignia. On the army shell, the maker stamp looks like a 5-point star with kanji in it. Daido Steel? The navy green one looks like crossed cannons? Is there a chart somewhere of maker marks? Thanks!
