Going through some of great Grandad's things and found this. No idea of its purpose but it is an immense hulk. Circa First World War.

    It's just old paper work Patsy Priebe. Nothing as interesting as some of the treasures you hold.

    This is a real treasure. I'm with Patsy Priebe on this one. That "old paper work" probably hold a lot of fascinating things for us, particularly of that era and place.
