jmar Posted May 7, 2013 Share #28 Posted May 7, 2013 Hello JS! Your posts never cease to be a source of enjoyment, this is no exception, a beautiful and historical group. I really enjoyed seeing the insignia, especially the Tiffany's. Great to see such quality, right down to their signature clasp. Myself, being hit and miss here lately, I owe my pleasure to seeing all this great material to Kat, who pointed me to it, knowing full well how much I'd like viewing it. Thank you! Best wishes always, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garth Thompson Posted May 7, 2013 Share #30 Posted May 7, 2013 R, What is the naming on the British War Medal? In the picture it looks bronze which is the version awarded to laborers and coolies. Garth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garth Garth, I took the other pix in Unnatural light, lets try these. I agree it did make the Medal appear second class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRR Posted May 7, 2013 Share #34 Posted May 7, 2013 I see a purple heart, that group must have been lost or stolen. Send it to me and I will make sure it gets back to the 2nd cousin twice removed illegitimate love child. I know he would cherish it as he found out his relation to the general shortly after posting this wonderful group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
