Totally crazy that you have the Sampson/Life Saving group to the rescuer and the Sampson to the victim. How did you pull that off?

 

They were united by a previous owner. They were sold this way on a George Harris list about 20 years ago.

Did some photography today so here are a few more Sampsons. I like to buy them when they're paired with a Good Conduct Medal.

Currently still what research I can until I can send off for a file. There was also a Philippine campaign that came with this, but the reason I did not include it here. Is I don’t think it’s his, hopefully when I send for his file that will confirm if its his or not.
