mutley Posted 20 December , 2005 Author Share Posted 20 December , 2005 Anthony thanks for the confirmation, a work colleague has just brought me a tin that has been in his parents loft for the last 20 years full of medals, coins and badges and that was the first one I looked at. Still exploring the rest, so far I've found medals to the Hampshire Yeomanry and King Edwards Horse. Some still have the original price he paid as a nine year old......£2.50!!!! Thanks again Mutley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mutley Posted 20 December , 2005 Author Share Posted 20 December , 2005 Anthony yes he collected as a child and he has all sorts, both great war and second. He has a death plaque to a Lancashire Fusilier DOW Gallipoli and one of each of the second world war stars. Still looking through various bits and pieces.
