Kitchener's Bugle Posted 23 March , 2015 Share Posted 23 March , 2015 Hi all, I was recently in Scotland and took the opportunity to capture some images of the medal groups on display at the National War Museum. What makes it different is that it is the National War Museum and as such it covers all the armed branches and all of the Military History of Scotland. I hope that you enjoy them as much as I did!!!

Tom Lang Posted 24 March , 2015 Share Posted 24 March , 2015 Many thanks LF...... Here are a couple more to finish off with.............. A great display KB. Lance Corporal Angus was 1 of 3 winners of the V.C. from the small village of Carluke, Lanarkshire. (Lt James Martin (see your post #12) was the officer (and friend) rescued by Corporal Angus). See attached, courtesy of the Carluke Parish Historical Society: (Left to Right) Sergeant Major Thomas Caldwell, V.C., 12th Bn Royal Scots Fusiliers Lance Corporal William Angus, V.C., 8th Bn Highland Light Infantry Commander Donald Cameron, V.C., Royal Naval Reserve. http://www.carlukehistory.co.uk/stories/expand.php?pic=../gallery/people_II/3_vcs_july1956.jpg Kindest Regards, Tom.

Kitchener's Bugle Posted 24 March , 2015 Author Share Posted 24 March , 2015 Many thanks Tom, that is incredible, three from the same villiage....amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw Posted 24 March , 2015 Share Posted 24 March , 2015 The AM for saving his former enemies is splendid. The first group is a bit "improperly dressed" with the OC rose on the ribbon rather than the bar but I guess OK if the actual recipient chose to wear it like that! But he would have been told off at an OCA parade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldstreamer Posted 24 March , 2015 Share Posted 24 March , 2015 very common to see rosette and no bar - I have a star with 2 rosettes AND the bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he would have been told off at an OCA parade! Technically very true - note that the bottom of the index cards state how they came to be in the possession of the Museum. Likely that this was his wife who donated them I suspect. They look to be the original ribbons mounted on the bar as he would have worn them. (The Top bar for the DSO being loose). Nice group though.

Lancashire Fusilier Posted 25 March , 2015 Share Posted 25 March , 2015 A great display KB. Lance Corporal Angus was 1 of 3 winners of the V.C. from the small village of Carluke, Lanarkshire.

Fattyowls Posted 25 March , 2015 Share Posted 25 March , 2015 KB Great pictures as ever; I'm particularly impressed with the medals of the incomparable William Angus. Givenchy is a favourite place of mine and I may be able to get to the area next month when I'm over. I'm doing the Lys area on foot based in Englos just outside Lille so it might be a bit far. I might be able to hitch-hike with a passing tractor, you never know....... Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
