TOPIC:

The catalogue for the next DNW auction has just been published. There are some nice QSA, a couple of Cape LS&GC groups and this group to Major-General Sir William Western, RWKR.

On the basis that you can never have too many Kimberley Stars, this would make a nice purchase.

A few years ago Chris and I purchased a group of unattributed miniatures at an OMRS convention. We were surprised that no one had attributed them. They turned out to be the miniatures for General Western:

Hi David,
I agree, it is impossible to have to many Kimberley groups!

There is also a nice DSO group to a member of Strathcona's Horse..... True the DSO is for WW1 but still a Strathcona QSA, (122 Known to exist) cannot have to many of them either.....
