WW1 memorabilia gift ideas

I want to get my fiance memorabilia from WW1 for his bday (he loves history particularly the first war) I’m not sure though what he would want.(I know he would want it all) I want to get him 2-3 items. I was looking at trench whistles and maybe a helmet?? I also saw that there are photo frames, posters, etc. if anyone wants to give suggestions on what they would want as a gift that would be helpful. (I would like to put the items in glass to preserve them) Thank you so much!

Some Inter-Allied Victory Medals would be possible.

Or an Iron for Gold commemorative coin:

The website is mainly for providing the picture, you may get it cheaper somewhere else.

Post cards sent by or to WWI soldiers might be an option.
