I know Albert fairly well and also a couple of Frogs who flog items, there are a few who come over to UK to buy up items to sell. The best guy over there is Dominic who runs the museum under the Basillica of the leaning Virgin, he's a good hand, and has amazing knowledge of the Somme battles. One of the guys who flogs stuff runs the Burma star cafe at Poziers, he can be a bit iffy, he lost an arm taking a fuse cap from a shell, he was using a hammer!
Keep the faith.

In Sonthofen just up the road from where I worked there is a German war grave site. No sourvenir shop though. In Pfaffenhofen the ex's village there was a graveyard that I used to bimble around after a row, and there were a few graves with military medals and dates 1939-1945.
Politicians and Generals move the peices around the board and its the common man that pays the price with blood. I know they were the enemy in the graves I saw, but they were doing what was ordered of them and did a good job in fairness, couldnt help to feel humbled and honoured to be in the company of heroes, as both sides had them.
