[waynorth]

Red Poppies remind us of the ultimate sacrifices of our Soldiers in previous Wars!!
Please wear a Poppy around Remembrance Day to Honor those Great Men and Women!!

I'm no expert on folders that were issued or available to these Heroes, but here are a few likely ones!! Please post yours, and any info or stories you may wish to contribute!

Is it ok to copy your photo so I can put it on my Facebook page?

 

[Rusty1]

Yes, no problem.

Here's a couple Navy issues, the classic Ulster TL-29 and the elusive Camillus MD USN scout I have no story other than I love the history behind knives and it's even better when they had a part in world history

 

[veitsi_poika]

And here's a couple more standard issues I would think, the Imperial easy opens have the USA tang stamps which I think is an indicator of WWII and the Kingston scouts were same vintage from the collaboration between Ulster and Imperial

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Thank you for the reminder, Charlie. Veteran's Day always sneaks up on me... my dad fought in the Pacific theater, and made it safely back home, with his only injury being malaria. Many, many others did not make it back. They weren't called the greatest generation for nothing....

They weren't called the greatest generation for nothing....

And we will never see their like again. My father was also in the pacific for 4 years, as were all my uncles.

Let’s hope future generations don’t try to devalue the sacrifices that have been made by those that never came home. I always wonder about the people that don’t exist because of families that were never created. There really are no “what if’s” in the real world, because we can’t turn the clock back...but it makes me wonder....

Just want to wish any veterans or currently serving personal all the best for Armistice/Remembrance day. We had ours yesterday your time, got good media coverage, but due to covid restrictions we could nor attend the official ceremony, which was sad. Take care all.

Armistice day today, usually everywhere downtown you ear the noise of coins in the fund raisers cans. The last Poilu died in 2008, if you travel in Northern France, impossible not to notice the panels directing to a Military Cemetary where Boys from allover the world lie on a ground that went through three wars, where unexploded shells of all sizes and provenance are still regularly unearthed.

This is Ma's Uncle Arthur, sargeant, fallen in Artois, 1915, and his father's Aurillac.

Great idea, Charlie -

The following picture is of my late Father-in-law's service-time carry knife.
My Wife gave it to me years ago and it is a cherished memento.
Sadly, I was never able to meet him as he passed before I came into the picture, but I was honored that my Mother-in-Law and Wife trusted me with this beauty.

Thank you to all who served and sacrificed to give us the freedom we enjoy.

best

That is a wonderful knife and a wonderful story....... Charlie, it sounds like you had a great Father-in-law....... I hope all my fellow Veterans take time today to reflect on the sacrifices made by so many.......
