I was just flipping through a japanese site... no matches, but the white enamel with the red circle just somehow makes it look like the unofficial bastard cousin to the official japanese medals.

I would assume it is also totally unlike anything you have seen in the Arab world over 35 years. What makes you so sure it IS Arab?

I have seen a couple of different pix with upside down EK1s... Also of note, his EK2 ribbon is right out of the packet, the crease not ironed out of it,,,,

BTT Top for now... more to follow.

Actually, I was always dissapointed when I reread the passage in a book about how the Boers hated bayonet fighting and would run when the brits came at them with the bayonet.... Years later I realised why...... The Boers had no bayonets ......
