| Milites Gregarius | Post; tonyhHi all... I have been interested in military history since a kid. Just got back from France, where I found a dog-tag Bernard Eugene 1920 Dunkerque 507 I was walking around the top of the Napoleonic fort at Calais and it was in the spoil from a mole hill. It may have some interest to the French but, I don't know how to go about informing them. So was hoping for some advice Tony |
