Hi John, thank you for all the nice compleiments ;-)) You know, I think you just tought me something I never gave a thought about but, I too had wondered why there were two sizes of KM IDs. Your after-thought makes perfect sense.

The thing about ground dug items-it just really irks me especially because a soldires final resting place is disturbed by some greedy person and who's making a profit selling a deceased persons items. I've seen numerous websites that offer these items for sale and iv'e writen to several of them telling them my opinons about what they are doing.

Thank you for the nice words about the Pennant. Im not really much into LW collecting but, what you said is the main reason why I got this piece. Their craftsmanship on the items they made is simply fantastic. I'll probably never be able to afford a Regimental flag but, seeing a few examples of what those look like-is what got me interested in collecting cloth.

I was hoping that where you live was somewhere near Texas because there is going to be a big Militaria show in Houston, Texas sometime in October. I plan on buying a table, so I can sell off some items I don't want and that are military related.

Take care and best regards--Carl.
