Souvenir YPRES ringThis ring was brought back from the First World War by Wilfred Cooke. The photo shows it worn by one of his great grand-sons. We believe the flags are French and Belgian, (although the stripes go the 'wrong' way) and that the ring is made from some sort of gun metal or old cartridge.Contributed by:
