Two Amputated War Veterans Bronze Sculpture By Paul Thubert
Paul Thubert (1847-1933) was a British born sculpture that created here a bronze sculpture of two elderly veterans of probably World War One (maybe even before), wearing their long military coats and medals. One man had his arm amputated and the other his leg and has his cane under his arm. The arm amputated man is speaking into the others ear, probably another war injury which made him hard of hearing.
The details of this sculpture and excellent and convey a real story of the horrors and price of war as well as heroes that put their lives on the line for the sake of their nation.

Hermes Holding an Anchor Sculpture By Hans Muller
Hermes holding an anchor sculpture made of spelter on a bronze base with commemorative plaque, artist Hans Muller signed and foundry marked K.K Kunst-Erzgiessereei, Wien. The sculpture is on a wood base. The sculpture is number 129, it is unknown out of how many.
Hermes, from Greek mythology the son of Zeus and Maia, considered the herald of the god, able to move quickly and freely between the worlds of the mortal and the divine aided by his winged sandals as can be seen in this sculpture.
Hermes is holding an anchor in one hand and on the other hand missing is the caduceus, staff is entwined by two serpents, sometimes surmounted by wings, symbolizing commerce and trade.
The plaque on the base reads: 1.9.1883 - 1.9.1907. This sculpture of Hermes by Hans Muller was probably given as a retirement gift to someone that worked 24 years in a shipyard or shipping company since Hermes was not associated with anything naval yet the anchor is part of the art work.

Bell Commemorating The Scuttling of the WW1 German Fleet
A bronze silver plated bell commemorating the scuttling of the WW1 German fleet at Scapa Flow off the Scotland shore. Rear German Admiral von Reuter, command of the fleet, ordered his soldiers to deliberately sink all ships rather then have the Allies use them on 21 June 1919. His crews opened seacocks, torpedo tubes and portholes on the ships to flood them and once again hoisted their flags of the Imperial German Navy.
The bell is engraved with the German iron cross and the words: The lord of hosts is with us (psalms 46:7).
The full incident can be read at the Imperial War Museum website.
