No,
Not really any major story behind it. There might be more coming as they are still cleaning out. His father was in the naval Infantry in WWI and this also came along with it (a field grey naval cap, 7 cap bands, dogtag etc) and this can be seen in the imperial section. Sometimes when it rains is pours!Comment

Are the photos from the haul as well? That would be sweet to have photos to go along with the items. If they are, was there a sister in the BDM or something?Comment
