The Devil made me do it! (That is an excuse common in South Africa. It was famously used by the Captain of the SA Cricket Team after he was exposed as corrupt, another common condition is SA, hence the need to perpetuate it.)
You may remember that I was similarly extravagant when I acquired the QSA to Tpr Gorton, ILH, that now features as my avatar. I do not regret that purchase, but I suspect that I will like Lieut Hall and his medal a lot less.

Never mind Brett, it's only money and you know that you had to buy it.

I must say you are a brave man, my better half would have skinned me alive

Well done by the way, you have some gems.

I was lucky to get 2 out of 5, not Boer War so will not elaborate, except to say one was to the NMR.

Thank you for your reassuring comments. My wife prefers me to be distracted by medals and related matters, because then I keep out of her way, which is like money in the bank to her.

Lot 61 arrived safely in its new home two hours ago. Sadly for Hall's QSA and his medical school medallion, they are now in far less illustrious company, but they will nevertheless be loved and cared for. Since there is now a doctor in the house for companionship, the need to find a Natal nurse's QSA is more urgent than ever.

Brett you just my day Yes, a nurse is long overdue....and not a living one . You had enough of that variety during your little stay at Hillcrest Hospital!

We must work hard at ensuring you get your wish.
