In memory of
John Bardgett
(15309 L/Cpl.)

11th Border Regiment
Who died 1st July 1916.
I enjoy looking at these beautifully hand-crafted items. The swagger stick I donated to the Border Regiment Museum had a snooker cue ball on it.

That was a well-crafted item, I just wish I took some photos of it before donating it.
