My name is Mel and my main interest is Boer War medals to my local regiment The Sherwood Foresters (Derbyshire Regt). I have been researching and collecting medals to this regiment for over 45 years and since my retirement I have had the pleasure of working at the regimental museum for the last 12 years doing many varied jobs assisting the Curator and Archivist. Kind regards to all. Mel.
