HI , picked this up this morning at my tuesday antique market ,

superb and very emotive item , never had one before .......

Sidney Fredrick Charkham .
2nd BATT. Bedfordshire & Hertfordshire regt .

k.i.a 16thMay 1944 , as hes burried Cassino war cemetry its tempting to say he was involved with the battle for Cassino - the final assault was around this date ?

if any one is familiar with his unit please let me know as it would be a great help .
