Hello all –
We’ve had this belt (rectangular with leather straps and buckles at ends) in our possession with no provenance, we were wondering if it were made by a convalescing soldier during WWI? We also can’t quite identify all the flags (perhaps
the maker ran out of the right colours of wool!) from left to right we have Russia, Romania, Italian colours but not the right design?, Great Britain, Belgium, Rising Sun Japanese flag and ?
Does anyone know any more about these or can help identify the flags?
Thanks in advance
Gillian
