I'd been looking for this in my junk pile for years, so I give credit to Karkee on this one!!!!!

Hey.
When did you get it? Is there a story behind it? Was it just lying about or did they buy it?
Im going to gallipoli next year and would love to find my own piece of history.

This lot came together from a senior former work mate's (who's family had no interest in) Grand who'd survived from start to finish and is all he brought back from the war. There was never a story from him to be told! and what a shame. Must have been a nightmare for him. I'd love to know on how he obtained the flight goggles?
