I am looking for a medal roll for chaplains. I bought a QSA to a reverend this week and would like some more info on him.

Heidelberg ,

Hello and welcome to the forum.

What is the name of your Chaplain. There is not much information on Chaplains on the site but we will see what we can do.

Regards

Hello Jan,
I had a look in WO100/235 for this fellow and could not find him, there was a Rev C F Tobias and a search on ancestry did not show a Toplas in the Army Chaplain's Dept either!

Hello Frank
Had another look at the medal! In my short time collecting, I have't handled a lot of engraved medals. The Chaplains medal is to C F Tobias and not to Toplas. Do you perhaps more info on him?
Regards Jan
