Any help would be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

The quote is the flag signal given by Admiral Nelson at the start of the Battle of Trafalgar 1805. Around WW1 it would have been well known in British society. Report this Post to the Staff

King George the Fifth 1910 - 1936. (First Edition, Galata, 2012.). They list it under the heading "War time events 1914 -1919". The obverse die is signed W.J.D. B'HAM which is W. J. Dingley of Birmingham. You can just see the faint letters sandwiched between the bust and the spray. Report this Post to the Staff
