Re: Post your WW2 Australian Insignia.
Does the spoon have the DAD stamp on it?
No this one does not but I have found some cutlery with the D/\D logo ~ I want to find some with the AIF rising symbol which are out there ~
The drum screw is the second one I have found as you may have seen ! It does have the D/|\D ~ and a date on the inside ~
Ironic too that I now have three teaspoons and three 'desert ' spoons but no knives or a decent fork !

Re: Post your WW2 Australian Insignia.
Went back for a quick visit today Sunday ~
And definitely walked onto a firing range ~ at the fire point.... 100s of shell cases ~ But also found the St Christopher silver medal in same spot as the Officer's pips ~
Call me crazy by looks like the mortar rear primer shot is active ~ Well I broke the tail fin digging it up~
Not writing on the cap ~ "Remove before Firing" ~ I assume a 2" Mortar (?)

I'd be a little careful with the 2" round, it looks like it has the bakelite cap there!?!!!!
To be totally sure it's inert you want it to look like these!!!!!!!

I have a silver plated teaspoon with the GS badge engraved on it-not sure how old it is though-'liberated' it from the kitchen at my old Res signals depot in suburban Perth-was amongst a lot of much newer steel 'C of A' coat of arms marked cutlery...

Hey Blokes ~
I am concerned I am sullying up a fine subject post here ~ and feel I should simply start a fresh Blog regarding my MD finds ~ as many seem very interested in what I am doing ~
Suggestions as to where I should place this without losing interested members ~
* BTW ~ there are also a lot of interested parties at my workplace ~ and one very keen lady of 22 years who works in my section ~ asked me to bring in the remnants of the mortar shell ~ much to the amusement of our mutual Boss and myself ~

Stuart,
There is a section for Military Archaeology on the Forum,where you could start a new thread if you wanted to.Just name it Australian Finds or something so we can find it.
Im sure i talk for the other blokes here when i say,your finds are certainly interesting and its something i myself would love to have a go at one day.
Cheers Mick
