    Excellent Reference Book


    Recommended Posts

    I recently got myself a copy of this.......

    http://www.naval-military-press.com/great-war-medal-collectors-companion.html

    I know £60 sounds a lot but we all know how text books go up in value. It's a relatively limited run and I can't even begin to describe just how good this book is. Extensively researched, full of photos and references. I didn't realise the research that the author has done into fakes alone. This makes it worth the money especially if gallantry awards and rarities are your area.

    Anyone else invested?

    A book i will definately get as both my grandfathers and their brothers fought in WWI.

    I am lucky enough to have my paternal grandfathers medals and i also have what we beleive is my maternal grandfathers ribbon bar.

    Thanks for the link Glenn.

    BTW, and looking at your avatar are you a Zappa fan like me ??

    Cheers,Martin.

    Hello Martin. Well with that interest you'll love this book I assure you. It really is the best study on this subject.

    I am a Zappa fan indeed. Pretty obsessively so mate. Good to meet another one. Music is the best after all!

    Deptfordboy.....Santa has been kind. I can guarantee your Xmas is going to be spent getting flak for ignoring everyone, let me know what you think.

    Now forgive me for going off topic here gents but this is for Glenn.

    I am sorry mate but no one is more obsessive about FZ than me.I have been a fan since 1969 when i saw the Mothers of Invention live in Birmingham,England.

    Well I hope the recommendation is to your liking mate. I am quite sure it will be......but on to more pressing matters!

    I love that picture, that is such a good shot of him. I'm really envious of anyone who got to see him live. I was introduced to him by a mate shortly after he died so missed that boat entirely.

    It was one of those moments you hear religious types talk about "seeing the light". I had to go out and get everything I could get my hands on. Read everything, watch everything. Just a genius.

    Got in tremendous trouble some years ago at home for having his portrait tattooed!

    Good to meet a fellow obsessive!
