Winter Plaque

[LES Y]

Hi guys,

Mods, I don't know if this in the correct section, if it's not please move it

Can anyone shed any light on this metal plaque, also can anyone translate the inscription.

Many thanks

Les

A similar contribution, albeit a pin, nonetheless another 1939 soldier-in-the field Christmas-related contribution. This rather attractive pin is clearly a private-purchase item celebrating "1939 Soldaten-Weihnacht". It is maker-marked "Huguenin" on the obverse (a Swiss manufacturer).

Hi Les, just for your interest here is some info on Art. Regt 71:

Hi John, it is a nice looking item. I guess Swiss soldiers also liked these kind of souvenirs too

Cheers, Ade.
