My Peace Ring and Peace necklace from the time of peace and love! 
My Tear Drop Glasses when they were in fashion... I think I should maybe clean them. 
My Sharpshooter Badge.
@RichJB here we go... I still have my Silly Putty and it still works and still bounces like a Superball!
A matchbox from back in the day when they were made from wood and not cardboard.
I think I had the better deal, 5 SAI in Ladysmith. Weather in Uppington is, I think, more extreme

VERY much SO! We had heat from Hades and the freezing cold for the polar ice caps! There was never a happy medium... Luckily we spent 6 months of our initial year in Ovamboland!
Just a quick digress from the contents of the green suitcase... some army pictures with Floss and back in the days I was skinny!
Scenery looks all too familiar

Summer! But after walking my first few patrols lugging around a 60mm mortar tube and a couple of bombs I decided I should rather be a signaler ensconced in the underground bunker at camp listening to LM Radio on the TR15 shortwave radio. I got the signalers to teach me all the stuff and then I picked up my Balsak and moved to the signaler's habitat! No one queried that fact I transferred myself... the rest of the time I did the 3am to 6am and the 3pm to 6pm beat and the rest of the time I spent with Floss and suntanning!
All those pics were taken at the border camp in Ovamboland.
OMG @Rob Fisher
That green suitcase has revealed so many gems
Am going to look again and enjoy the various posts
This is a major find, sergeant major Fisher!!
Lol, the date of those teardrops was 1975, wife wasnt even born then!
Hehe
And those pics of you with Floss! Priceless. You hunk!
This is just amazing, love it to bits.
I need to find a green suitcase and start putting things in like that - but unfortunately wont be sharpshooter badges or the like
Ooh, this is good

Thanks Hi Ho @Silver! I never made it as far as Sergeant Major... I did, however, end up as a Staff Sergeant!
Right you saw the matchbox made out of wood... did you wonder what was in the matchbox? It's a piece of glass still with my blood on it that I pulled out of my foot... if my memory serves me right it's from 1967.
Awesome you kept that @Rob Fisher
Artefacts like those must brimg back loads of memories, not all pleasant though
I like the suntanning and the way you transferred yourself into the bunker. Winner. Hehe

And then the precious Russel Yo Yo's that along with the Silly Putty are the oldest items in the green suitcase at over 50 years old! I only ever competed in competitions with a Fanta Yo Yo.
Must have been a real trip down memory lane for you today @Rob Fisher, it sure brought back a lot of memories for me. Floss looks so happy that you rescued him .

You are going to think i am lying if o say I got one like this. Kodak and a Concertina foldup one
