I knew about the WW2 mirrors, but not any from the Great War.

Thanks for posting.

Fascinating. I knew about the metal framed ones, and the big hearing-aid horns, but this beggars the imagination!

Thanks for posting that interesting article Paul.

Great to see Councils spending some money to keep WW1 History for later generations.

Well I never! Imagine models for those being available.
I wonder what other "goodies" they might have lurking.

Yikes! I will have to inform all my Zeppelin buyers of these! Possible bombing targets? Indeed!
