Duncan Posted 26 September , 2005 Share Posted 26 September , 2005 This seems a crazy price for a BWM. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Are Welsh Guards medals perticularly rare then? Duncan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guardroom Posted 26 September , 2005 Share Posted 26 September , 2005 As the Welsh guards were authorised by Royal Warrant into existance on 26th Feb 1915, WW1 medals to this new Household Brigade Regiment are very much saute after. Just as any Irish Guards medals named on QSA or KSA's. Not sure though, if the price for this single war medal to WG is perhaps a little OTT.

ceebee Posted 27 September , 2005 Share Posted 27 September , 2005 From CWGC: Name: JONES, WILLIAM THOMAS Initials: W T Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Private Regiment: Welsh Guards Unit Text: 1st Bn. Date of Death: 01/12/1917 Service No: 2086 Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead Grave/Memorial Reference: Panel 3. Cemetery: CAMBRAI MEMORIAL, LOUVERVAL 1st Battalion formed part of the 3rd (Guards) Brigade in the Guards Division. This division participated in the German Counter Attacks of 30 November - 3 December 1917 (part of the Battle of Cambrai). As for the price realised, it just shows what the market is asking and how rarety is driving the prices upwards. I presume those bidding had done their homework.
