I like this sort of thing personally, depending on the pot. The display with the GI sounds pretty cool too.

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

Hi Paul E,
Unfortunately not, I got it in the Gavray area but as to where it was picked up I just don't know. I have always wondered if anyone out there was able to trace the soldier who's name appears on it.
