AndyMacdonald Posted 6 February , 2006 Share Posted 6 February , 2006 I'm sorry, what are you suggesting? My post was perfectly legitimate and I don't think at all unreasonable or impolite! I'm merely asking the thread starter for proof of the permission he's already said he has. For the record, I too wish him the best of luck in all legitimate projects he undertakes. But, my proposition stands. Also, a brief study of Queen's English hasn't helped me decipher the meaning of: 'stoater' and 'erm'. Andy M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westkent78 Posted 6 February , 2006 Share Posted 6 February , 2006 Andy, I don't think "Fogarrach" was refering to your post above, but someone else's a couple of pages away. "Stoater" is a scottish expression meaning "a cracker", ie designed to get a response/start a fire in this case. "erm" in this instance would seem to be implying a bashful admission of being a "saddo". Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw Posted 6 February , 2006 Share Posted 6 February , 2006 Disgraceful that Graeme has been subject to personal abuse. Whatever one's views about the medals, this is inexcusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birkettm Posted 7 February , 2006 Share Posted 7 February , 2006 I would have thought a quick check of any MIC on the list would confirm if this lot had been returned to the MoD for correction / destruction. Anyone? Ta Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fogarrach Posted 8 February , 2006 Share Posted 8 February , 2006 westkent78, thanks for the clarification regarding my post. you're quite right, i wasn't referring to andy's post. andy, for the record i found your post - the one that preceded mine - a well written and balanced contribution to the debate. while you may be right that my queen's english is perhaps different from yours i'd gently suggest that reading english properly is as important as writing it properly. when you read my post you'll agree with me that the queen herself would never have read the post as referring to you. perhaps you read in haste, i don't know.

Graeme Heavey Posted 8 February , 2006 Author Share Posted 8 February , 2006 Fellow pals. I will just say this one last time so its crystal. I really cant say WHY the medals were in a box in my office exactly. To be honest again, it would break everyones heart if I did, but suffice to say the 'office' that sent them to us did so because it was deemed a Defence matter. The AMO at Droitwich took the others but left us with the WW1 stuff. I have managed to reunite Stars and some other medals the old fashioned pre-internet way. I forgot about these remaining 20 odd medals, like you do when you get married and your baby daughter dies at birth, you know that type of thing tends to make you a bit absent minded over the years. It wasnt until I joined this forum that I understood how emotional it was for families who know their ancestor suffered so badly in WW1 and havent got their medals-thats my reason. Their is no paper trail-the medals were off to be crushed, there I've said it! My boss said take them and do yor best, so did the former head of the Army medal office 'coz I checked with him too. I dont know what else to say guys and girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveBrigg Posted 8 February , 2006 Share Posted 8 February , 2006 Stedman, as far as I can work out, originally came from Mile End, London - aged 2 in 1901. Not sure of his links with Lincs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
