I recently visited one of my favorite Regimental Museums, the Staffords which is located near to Litchfield. 

Here are some highlights from the medal collection:-

The Museum, also has a special feature, a recreated outdoor trench called the "Coleman Trench" named in honour of the above.

Very interesting set of photos, thanks.

I have a question re: Sgt J Ward's awards.  He has an oak leaf, presumably for a MID, but it is affixed to the French Croix-de-Guerre and not the Victory medal.   Does anyone know why this is?
