      Hello Gordon , Thanks for that , i just thought youth service would mean being an instructor in the DDR version of the hitler youth or working in a youth hostel , something along those lines . But teachers is fine !

      Yes the wife is pleased that i,m buying a medal for ?5 instead of ?50 or ?500 !! As i,m on a budget DDR stuff is ideal , i think i,m a junkie now i,ve bid on 3 more !!!
