Guys,
Opinions on this one it's certainly well worn.
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

Re: A well worn Ushanka !!
Hi Paul, they are not cheap. I see them for sale at about £150.
Cheers, Ade.
Re: A well worn Ushanka !!
Paul,
Nice Ushanka. Any stamps inside?
I have also bought one, a specimen captured by a german soldier and brought back home. It has not arrived yet, I will post photos as soon as it is in my hands.
It would be nice for the experts in this forum to dissect the attributes of wartime ushankas compared to postwar specimens. I have strained my eyes with the photos of the ushankas in this site, but most of them are GPW stamped, so it´s hard to tell from postwar caps.
Regards,
Gus
