WWII British Infantry Gas Mask. (Help please)
Okay, here's my problem,
My grandpa served in WWII in the Infantry and was given a standard issue gas mask in 1942, I made sure it was right and checked all the markings from production. Now We have kept it in very good shape, sealed it and am considering having a filter specifically made eventually, but just now it is safe. But time got to work and has damaged the straps so badly that they are in urgent need of reparation.
This is where I need help, I went down to the surplus store and By Gods good grace they had a set of straps in a near mint condition from a heavily deteriorated and unsellable Gas mask. I bought them quickly and with haste headed to the internet to find how to thread my gas mask up.... and well I failed, I couldn't find a diagram at all, I dont know if anyone has a step by step guide or some sort of leaflet or something for this, if they have and could share I would be very happy as this is a priceless piece that is still complete and has very minor damage (Dent from a bullet on front.)
So if anyone can help, please do!

The Grave of a Field Marshall
Last weekend I visited Binstead Village in Hampshire (UK) to pay my respects at the Graveside of
1st Viscount Bernard Law Montgomery of Alamein. KG GCB DSO Field Marshall.
I took my camera along to share the pictures with the forum. Binstead is a small historic Village with many ancient houses. Montgomery lived out the remainder of his life in Froyle mill near the village.
I include a few good pictures of the man, the church, his grave and the only WW2 war grave in the cemetery for JA Baynton REME this is near to Monty's.
If you ever have the chance to visit its a nice spot with a good view of Hampshire rolling hills and downland.
From memory one of the poppy wreaths is from the (NVA) Normandy Veterans Association but sadly I can't remember the other.

Hello,
This buckle is offered for sale, but I still don't know for sure about his authenticity. The construction seems ok but still...
And if it's a good one what maker is that? (ss 36/39) thanks
(sorry for the poor pics, but just these are available)

Need help! Unknown German ID tag!!!
This is very literally an attic find as it was found under some loose floorboards in the attic of house my parents bought in Zittau, East Germany. It is obviously some sort of ID tag, but for who?
I have seen a very similar one on Ebay, that is being described as "for worker, or Prisoner of War forced to work in military factory of the III Reich. Could be issued for prisoner in German labour camp, too." except that one only has a number, mine has a number a name and the name of the town (Zittau). Any ideas?
