We got to the car boot at St Lormel every 14th July.
Hundreds of stalls selling all sorts of tat.
First bought the Navy looking Anchor beer glasses,
origin Alsace.
Then I saw these 2 Artillery shell cases from WW1
Couldn't believe it when she said 5 euros the pair.
Anyway, got them home and did some research
on the case markings.
Turns out they were both made at Woolwich Arsenal in 1917,
and marked for shipping out to the front that year.
They will be 100 years old next year, so
am well chuffed with the purchase.
