Morning Frank,
That seems strange about the membership, it is usually instant, hope he gets sorted.
Next fair is in two weeks time so hopefully weather will be less severe!

Well I hope that if Liz joins the BMF, she has more success than a friend of mine who tried to join a couple of weeks ago now, still has not had his membership confirmed!
Can't really comment though, I am not a member!

Will you be able to get to the next medal fair with all that snow around?
Regards Frank

And welcome to the forum.
I recently acquired a seven clasp QSA at a medal fair but I must admit I have not seen many around.

I wish you sucess in your search, do not give up hope, I recently managed to find a WW1 pair to a Great Uncle through ebay.
May I suggest joining the British Medal Forum and adding your GGrandfathers medals details there, its worth a try.
David hope you did not mind me advertising the BMF!

Regards
Paul

What are the realistic chances of me finding the medals for a Scots Guardsman Pte H Corkhill (or spelled Corkill). H is for Harry?

I think from Ancestry records he was entitled to 7 clasps. Which looks like a big number from auction sites I have been looking at.

I don't think he's on your list of those serving in the Boer War on this website.

I only recently found out his history - He's my g grandfather and died from heart condition caused by stress in WW1.

Does any one know if the Scots Guards have a collection of medals that might just include Harry's?

Thanks in anticiation

Liz

Hello again, Sure enough I'm having difficulty getting on BMF having registered. I'm sure you'll get that fixed soon. Liz

Good luck with it Liz, as I said I am not a member so I can't really comment!
