Kimberley John Lindsay Posted 8 May , 2019 Share Posted 8 May , 2019 Dear All with John and David, Do not over-bid on the one I want. That's an Order! Well, okay, belay that Order. I will tell you who he was after the Auction. I made a (for me) hefty bid, but it is unwise to go too high, because then one ends up with a huge bill to pay - medals here, medals there. Apropos bids: can someone tell me what sort of collector can afford to pay, say 84 thousand for a decoration plus three common medals? Just a thought... Kindest regards, Kim.

Kimberley John Lindsay Posted 11 May , 2019 Share Posted 11 May , 2019 Dear All, I unfortunately missed out on Capt Daniel Vincent McCollum, IARO, by twenty quid. Damn! However, for the lucky bidder of 320 Pounds, plus add-ons, I will be happy to beam him information I had found out about the capable D. V. McCollum... Kindest regards, Kim.

Best regards Simon Bullimore Simon, if you haven't done so already, DNW will forward your request to their buyer. Obviously it is then up to the new owner as to whether they will reply to you.

spbullimore Posted 17 May , 2019 Share Posted 17 May , 2019 Thanks for your advice Gents. Really appreciated. I have asked DNW but feared that they wouldn't divulge. Sounds as if they are helpful which is good news. Will await their reply. Thanks again Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimberley John Lindsay Posted 28 May , 2019 Share Posted 28 May , 2019 Dear All (and John), The successful bidder for the Capt D. V. McCollum, IARO, group, has now sold the group to me. I have since found out that the War and ISM are possibly spurious - but his 15 Trio and the GSM IRAQ (Capt., IARO) are interesting, inasmuch as he became a Political. His main claim to fame was his handling of the visit to London of the nephew of the Sheikh of Kuwait - a long story... Kindest regards, Kim.

Kimberley John Lindsay Posted 22 April , 2020 Share Posted 22 April , 2020 Dear All, I subsequently secured McCollum's WWII papers - and to my disgust, ascertained that the War and India Service Medal 1939-45 are indeed spurious! His Service would have, at most, attracted a Defence Medal. Having said that, his Great War IARO Service was - for such a junior Officer - outstanding: performing the onerous duties of a Political Officer. While obviously preferable to being Under Fire in any number of Theatres of War, his appointment called for great tact and a certain intellectual ability... I assume the spurious two medals were added-on by an over-zealous former owner. Ideally, McCollum's 15 Star Trio and GSM clasp IRAQ, should be re-mounted as such. However, I will leave As Is, seeing as the Group is now under glass and integrated with an Image of a partly-obscured McCollum, his wife (soon to die in childbirth), and sundry Arab and British notables. Kindest regards, Kim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
