Hello Gentlemen,
Sorry for the delay in getting back on this subject, I won't bore you with the detail. I would like to Thank everyone who has responded to my initial post on PC POSTLE. It is quite clear now that the Bar was an 'add on', as there are no ageing or wear marks to the medal ribbon. It most certainly does not belong with the medal.
I too contacted the Met archives section and found PC Postle never even finished his Probation (if that existed then). I attach with this post a photo of the name enscribed on the medal. I was just wondering if he was mistakenly allocated one as his leaving the job, the parade and distribution of medals were all in a relatively short space of time?
Your views are most welcome, I just can't see somebody that disillusioned with the job going out of his way to get a medal and enscribe it himself, a mistake would seem more likely and a medal in the post I would have thought? Kind Regards Ian TVPRCS.http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_04_2013/post-15206-0-16240800-1366176966.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_04_2013/post-15206-0-16240800-1366176966.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_04_2013/post-15206-0-02674500-1366177110.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_04_2013/post-15206-0-16240800-1366176966.jpg
