    Hi!

    My name is Mark, I am 20 years old and have been interested in world war two for as long as I can remember. Because of the stories my grandmother told about her time in a japanese camp, her stories about my great-grandfathers death on the yunyu maru, and my grandfathers stories about his time in occupied Holland (which is where I live).
    Next to researching my family's history during that period, I have bought a metaldetector which I have also found some world war two objects with.

    I was hoping someone on this forum could help me identify some objects that I have found, and hopefully I can help others with their questions.

    See you on the forum!

    Mark

    Glad you could join us. Can you post pictures of your finds? There are several rogues who can help with identification. We will try to answer any questions you might have.

    Welcome on this fine forum. By all means post pics of your finds in our militaria section and we'll try to indentify them .

    Welcome to the Forum, Mark. I've also been interested in WWII for as long as I can remember, but at my age that's not saying much. ;)

    Thanks Skipper, do I need to make a new thread in the militaria section, or is it fine where it is now?
