German units near Armentieres June 12, 1918

Any one have any idea of what German Infantry regiments were just north of Armentieres on the 12th of June 1918? I am researching an RAF pilot who was shot down and captured 13 miles north-west of Armentieres. He stated that he ended up being held in a farm house that had previously been the battalion HQ for a regiment of Welsh Fusiliers. Thanks in advance for your time.

First Post and a bayonet question

Hi,

I have what I believe to be a French bayonet from WW I. My wife’s grandfather brought it back with him and we ended up with it.

I see there’s some paint on the handle and a fair amount of rust. I know I shouldn’t try to make it gleaming or anything but should it be lightly cleaned to try to remove the paint and the rust or should it just be left alone?

I’ve included some photos, they are not great quality but it’ll give you an idea of what it is.

Thanks,

Greg

You can see the paint on the handle

Help with an Axe

Good day to you all,

I purchased that axe at a gun show several years ago. At the time I hoped it to be a boarding axe, but I now think that unlikely. My best guess is it is a firefighter’s axe. Does anyone have any ideas?

Many thanks,

Ed
