locket with woman and birmingham soldier

Thanks Winston I always check these out as, Michael's mother had her fathers stolen from her bungalow in Castle Bromwich over 25 years ago it broke her heart.

Cap badge is the "Royal Worcesters". 1914/19 British army issue type cap. The "Doughboys" uniform different except for steel helmet.
