I think any collector worthy of the name has, at some point or other, pondered on the eternal question, "Have I too many medals?"

This though entered my head (and fortunately left it without lingering) earlier today when I was going through the file on one of my recipients, Wilfred Graham Bartram AUSTIN www.angloboerwar.com/forum/5-medals-and-...austin-s-story#56173 , he appears in the photo below and, lo and behold, on closer inspection, standing in the back row but a few feet from him, is another of my recipients, Alfred Edward NIEUWENHUIS!! www.angloboerwar.com/forum/5-medals-and-...ley-policeman#73907I had been unaware of this until I spotted him standing on the extreme right.

This is what begged the question - if one holds the medals to more than one recipient in a completely random photo, is this lucky coincidence or a sign that one has too many medals?

The answer has to be "no" - so on with the collecting I go.


Austin is second from the left in the back row - Nieuwenhuis is on the extreme right.

Regards

Rory
