My grandfather had the flag of a Cathedral in England which had bullet holes in it. I can't quite remember the story of how he got it, but it was certainly interesting.
My brother brought it into school, and someone burned it. They were Irish, and it was too British
Bastard.
shame that happened. that flag seems rad
speaking of WWII items, my friend in California has a bed frame that's worth a lot of money. The local museum wants it (think they said they would buy it for a million, or something dumb like that). the story behind it is a woman in his family (I think it was great great grandmother, don't remember) wanted to keep the frame but nazis were going to take it and melt it down to make bullets, what ended up happening was in the night that woman sneaked back into the house (the nazis kicked them out) took the bed frame and smuggled it out to america.
my friend refuses to sell it to the museum.
