Hey ya guys 
Thought some people might find some of this well, interesting
First up is 2 Books I got my hands on over the last few weeks
both pre ww2
1st book
early first ed numbered copy of the 1916 Anzac book, if your a kiwi or aussie, and your yet to get your hands on a copy of this... its amust! best read ever!!
2nd book
1927 copy of the Regulations for the Military Forces of the Dominion of New Zealand and the cool part! it has been updated by hand via the Fortress commander of the NZTS alot of edit work, all signed etc, areal gem, :P
Next, a bunch of items,paper clippings, photos etc from my great uncle "Ivor Owens" who served in ww2, Im not sure about a bunch of items he had, so if anyone can help me with the research, I would be very Happy
as for the badges and pins etc, i dont have much of a clue about most of them,
I believe this is something he held during the war, mayhap around his neck, and its smooth at a point like some has been rubbing it with their fingers
This would have come from his mother, for good luck as she was a Catholic nun when she was much younger
these i dont have aclue,
and some badges
now anyhelp would be great, ohhh I also did get his medals etc, but everyone has seen those before
