    My uncle Gordon passed away a few years ago.Everyone called him Don. He served in the 21st Independent Parachute Company in WWII,pathfinders I believe ? At my request,I recently received these photo's from my cousin of his medals. We have the 1939-45 Star,France and Germany Star,Defence Medal,General Service Medal with Palestine Bar and two Terretorial Medals,one with two 6 year bars. Nice to finally get the photo's of this grouping. Cheers,Martin. Here's a photo I have of him taken in Caen,July 1944.

    Thank you Morten. Every now and then a little Hilfskreuzer gem gets my attention. It's not that I have stopped collecting entirely,but lets say I am getting a liitle more selective in my old age and I do not make many purchases now. Cheers,Martin.
