The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings

compared to the one featured on the site on page 1, the decal and rust look to be of the right age. but then again the decal had been faked for a long time and fakers are getting rather good.

An update, I had a chance to examine one of the "known" real ones, the one on Kelly's Hicks site. I don't want to reprint the entire article I did at GHW as its very extensive but here is the link

I believe it to be real and I like the one that started the thread as well from the limited pics provided.
