TOPIC:

It is always very nice to see the usual combination to any Coldstreamer with the addition of a Belfast clasp, sadly when I originally collected the Guards Brigade for the western front, I simply looked for basic medals and pairs, with the result that I only ended up with the normal six clasps on the Queens medal, although I did find a few casualties in the course of doing so.
