Battlefield Relics

[stgeorge64]

Hi, a couple of years ago I spent some time visiting the WW 1 battlefields around Ypres and the Somme. It was a very interesting time which I greatly enjoyed. A suprise to myself was the amount of relics that were still laying on battlefield, walking in a field close to Ulster Tower, I came accross several bullets (Lee Enfield and Mauser), shell cases, shrapnel, picket posts and a plethora of other battlefield detritus. I was fascinated by this and would be very interested to learn if anyone can guide myself either to a website or publication that concerns battlefield relics which have been recovered, restored and displayed for other enthusiasts to enjoy. Any help in this is well recieved in advance.
Regards Richard.

Hi Jens, thank you very much for your help, it is much appreciated indeed. I am fascinated by articles that have been recovered and restored from the battlefield for display purposes, it would be great to see some photos posted by fellow enthusiasts on this thread to share with like minded people.
