Jim was shot down over Germany and interned for the duration of wwII
He brought the NAZI flag home to [deleted] La [/deleted] Southport, Lanc’s.
My mother, Gladys Brooker nee Miller, brought the flag to Australia. She was a war bride. “Brian” – mentioned O/L, was her son, born before the war, and before she met my father.

“Mountain” appears to be a memento of my Unlce Jim’s, regiment and perhaps the campaign that saw his capture.
