Joe Walsh Posted 16 November , 2005 Share Posted 16 November , 2005 I've started a site to list medals and such. The sites name is www40.brinkster.com/donaldmcdonald. Please note none of the other links except the one to view the wants page and then from that to the SWbs, medals and Death Plaques. I've only just started and will be upgrading to a better package if all goes well. Let me know what you think. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Robertson Posted 16 November , 2005 Share Posted 16 November , 2005 Joe, I wish you well. You should do well with the medals as I felt compelled to stop listing new medal wants on my site a few weeks back. There should be a free venue for these "wants" on the web so well done.
