Hi David

I append scans of the article by Bill Fevyer that appeared in the OMRS Journal, Autumn 1979. This complements your "offerings" very well!

The note by Tamplin on "Mascots and Medals" (p211) is also very interesting, although on a totally different subject!!

Many thanks, Henk.

Can you tell me how Langman's Hospital is abbreviated on Milton's medal please?

Best wishes
David
