My Australian/Commonwealth display case, and assorted bits & pieces.
The gravestone pic is my great uncle who fell during WW1 whilst serving 4th batt.AIF and is buried in Pozieres cemetery France
The slouch hat is an original 1943 dated WW2 hat.
The HMS Pioneer banner was amongst my grandfathers stuff he was in the Royal Navy and served on this ship during WW2 in the Pacific. There's also some seamen training guide books that he must have been given as well.
Also some shells and shrapnel relics I've picked up from a few different battlefields.

Very nice display, especially as pertains to your uncle. May he rest in peace as a hero.
