Ooh, a map fair
my mate has the map of Northern France, that was issued to his grandad for the Normandy Landings, framed on his wall. It's bloody enormous.

I have my grandfather's silk map of the Rhineland
that was sewn into the lining of his jacket, replete with massive bloodstain from where his throat was cut, having parachuted behind enemy lines. There's a hand-drawn dotted line showing his planned route. It's fucking cool.

Just need Inglorious Basterds style scalp of Gerry.

You have one-upped my mate there and no mistake
Edit: although his grandfather beats yours by not dying.

Mine didn't die until 1990 or so.
He ended up being a general and following retirement, an accomplished landscape painter.

Wait, he had his throat slit in '44 and lived till '90?
Or he was parachuting into the Rhineland in 1990 and got his throat slit?

Either way it's cool.
