A really interesting display.

We took a tour of the museum on our Son-in-law's base yesterday and I came across this display.
It's the tunic, hat and medals of a fellow who fought in the Boer War. (the stain on the right pocket is actually blood)

But what really caught my eye was this ......
The guy wrote the location and date of every battle he fought in on the underside of the brim of his hat.
Look at them all! He ran out of space. The fact that this guy survived the war is incredible.
