Walking the battlefield with 'Jagdpanther44' recently, I told him how I reckoned I had accidentally lost or thrown away my very first 'relic from Moissy ford'
But hunting around the attic back at home last week - I unearthed it for the first time in years ! When I first visited Moissy 11 years ago, the old man who then lived in the little cottage next to the Ford was working in his garden. He threw an object aside from under a bush - and on hearing my exclamation, gave it to me, obviously amused that I was interested in a piece of old tin.
It was a readily-recognizable fragment of a German rifle-cleaning kit.....
...shown here next to an unissued one. The brass hinges still work. Yes, it's an old beaten-up piece of junk, but it was found just five paces from Moissy Ford.
It was
THERE...........
