Thank you for the Ackland biography. It is accounts such as this one that make medal-collecting a rewarding hobby. Ackland's name would have always have stood out on rolls because of his DCM, but now he can be better remembered as a man. Wherever his medals go in future, they will hopefully always be accompanied by this biography.

Regards
Brett

Hello Ian,
I think any medal to a member of this fine corps is not only quite scarce, but, is also really quite desirable, given their fight on the Kop, however, you actually have a very good gallantry pair.
Interestingly, I do know of a collector here, in fact rather close to me, who has a large TMI collection and I dare say he would very much like to have those in it too!
Wonderful medals and ones that only very seldom come up for sale these days.
Regards Frank

Thanks for your comments; much appreciated! I really do regret having to put David to all the key-bashing to get the full bio up.
