James Blonde Posted 4 February , 2007 Share Posted 4 February , 2007 Isn't it for Collectors rather than Researchers (who may also collect, I kow)? Kath. Dear Kath, If I may be as bold to say, that, if not all, then a large part of the members at G.M.I.C, are interested in the identity of the person the medals were awarded to, as well as the criteria, history, of the various awards and decorations. Some of the members specialise in trying to re-unite the articles from an individual, that have been broken up, (while admitedly this can often be easier to do with regards the high-end officer awards, rather than the lowley other ranks.) Other members often give advice on how to spot fakes, or recently made "fantasy bars" brightly coloured flasy combinations of ribbons, designed to part the unwary from their hard earned cash. Others are are very interested in the documentation pertaining to the soldier, his "soldbuch" and "Urkunde" the equivelent of the Soldiers Pay-book and brevets authorising his medal awards. For them its not about just having a collection of bright shiny do-da's, but trying to discover the history of the person behind the items and to preserve it for future genorations. Members interests are as varied as countries that the members belong. But research is part of what they do as well. In some ways their intent is the same as the good members of this forum (only covering far more conflicts that just that of the Great War.)
