Hi Bill,
I think I have whiff but since I barely got out of my last turn am unwilling to follow the scent.
Smell you later,
Markus

I will post a bit of a funny one, what is it?
Note again, my Finnish archives are almost all soft skin vehicle photos so I don't really have much to post on such a quiz thread.

Thanks! Surprisingly these funds were not put to use during wartime because of several different complications, from what I know.Rene385273 wrote:Aleksander P wrote:Do you mean the exchange of golden rings to ones made of iron, so that the army could get new funds?Rene385273 wrote:Clue - it was not money, but something rather unusual and in most cases, of personnel and sentimental value.Rene385273 wrote:Well..
