Description
A wonderful little crudely put together souvenir grouping of WW1 insignia all individually mounted onto a 'Wild Woodbine Cigarettes Packet of 5 ' advertising card of the period . I believe this card would have been displayed where cigarettes were sold to advertise the famous Woodbine brand of the period . Very crudely fixed to the card with the use of now very old matchstick stubs & nails of the period ! Two 'Welsh' regiment shoulder titles & two pioneer battalion are displayed here with seven GS buttons & a Royal Warwickshire cap badge. A long forgotten souvenir of the Great war untouched for many years until now with the card bearing age reaction to the metal polish of the brass.
