Very nice acquisition Mike.
I see you are like me and have given it a little clean

Have to clean after all do not want to end up in the Sergeant Majors bad books......

Many many years ago I remember a Sgt. Major giving a Major a very polite talking to about the condition of his medals...... The ribbons were faded and within 24 hours they were re mounted......

Hi Mike and well done - If memory serves I had a punt at this one as well. Glad to see it made its way from Australia to Canada in one piece.

I have done some homework on this man and will forward you what I have on him.

Regards

Rory
