Good Afternoon Everyone.....

Just as I got home from work I noticed the postman walking up the path.....

In his hand he had a package that I was waiting for.....

A jiffy bag with three medals that had been traded for with a fellow collector that is disposing of his collection of QSA's .....


1. 4360 Private F. Short, 1: Leic: Regt. - Talana, Defence of Ladysmith, Laing's Nek, Belfast

2. 535 Driver H. Sadler, 69th B. R.F.A. - Talana, Defence of Ladysmith

3. 4142 Private D. Green, 5th Lcrs. - Elandslaagte, Defence of Ladysmith

Now all I have to do is explain it to "She Who Must be Obeyed" about the other jiffy bags that are due.....

Hello Mike,

Wow, that is what I call a "jiffy bag dance" :woohoo:
You must be over the moon with those, congratulations ;)
I assume you are still waiting for your acquisitions from the BMF? look forward to seeing those also.

Cheers
Paul :)
