Wow! thats a really impressive collection Willowtree - very impressed. I'll keep my out for you at fayres and boots in future - Is it mainly trench art from WW1 you are into?

Like you I have a fair old collection of medals ranging from the Boar War to the Second World War. I used to collect them as a kid - you could pick them up for a few pounds then - not the case now!

Thanks for sharing them with us.

Neil
