and the recent "imperial" addition...

Only two of medal bars that I have had in my accumulation were associated with the Red Cross. I know very little about the award criteria and the relative scarcity of some of the medals. I thought perhaps there might be some depth of knowledge among our members regarding this subject that would be of benefit to us all. I'll kick it off with my only two Red Cross bars, one weimar and the other imperial.

In which war did the "gold for iron" appeal begin?

...with a Welsh accent is comes out more like "BRUK SQARE". I have that little book and found it to be a useful reference.

What I recall is that the square of the Black Watch was broken by the assault of what the troops referred to as fuzzy wuzzies. I don't recall which native tribe they represented.

Very interesting catch plate, Ralph.

...and nice stuff it is, Don. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I have read that it was a favorite taunt of certain Welch regiments directed at the members of the 42nd Foot.

A solid visual tutorial, gentlemen. Thanks for the effort.

Ricardo, a white tie for gentlemen is NEVER optional.

Thanks for the link, Les, most useful.

Interesting bars and welcome back!

Impressive, Joe! Congratulations!

Not really. This one was too unusual and too inexpensive to pass up. I was thinking resale all the way.

In reality nothing! I now have the bar in hand and what looked like and incorrect ribbon on the end commemorative turned out to be correct. I couldn't make out the horizontal stripes in the photo.

Congratulations, Don. Perhaps the not so evil twin can help decode the script...

Very,very nice. Congratulations. Love the enamel work.
