A very good medal, Mike! Thank you for showing it. I like the paperwork that goes with the medal, particularly the last photo, which I had not seen before.

Regards
Brett

A well documented and sought after QSA Mike. It is great to see that 2014 is continuing for you as 2013 left off.

Are there part of the collection you mentioned last week?

Best wishes

That's a fascinating photograph and that's Wools-Sampson with the sticks.
