I am very pleased to have got five out of five, although none with an ABW connection. This does mean that the piggy-bank is empty shortly before the next City Coins sale is posted.

You did well Brett. Looking forward to both seeing them and reading about them under the Frontier Wars section.

DNW are including in their next sale a series of 11 (so far) medals for the First Boer War.

A Collection of Medals Relating to the 1st Anglo-Boer War 1880-81: www.dnw.co.uk/auctions/catalogue/results...d=505&heading_id=665

Good luck to everyone bidding at DNW in the next 2 days.

DNW now provide more information to bidders in terms of the total amount payable and the ability to bid in different currencies. These are excellent innovations.

My single bid for the 45th Regiment's Colour & School Master Sergeant James Richardson's LS&GC Medal was successful. This was his only medal entitlement. He was in Natal throughout his service in South Africa.
Now to learn more about the role of School Master Sergeants in the mid-Victorian British Army.
