The photos are too blurred to put on the Forum. I've looked at it through a glass and it is 'Z4' It cost me ?26. Can you tell me anything about it? I no nothing about these! John
I recently got this , and the reverse is in very nice condition, but the obverse is quite scratched. I am loath to paint it, or 'restore' it, but would like to clean it up a bit, without ruining it. Any ideas?
It certainly does, always in days gone by, because no one gave a stuff. I had a great uncle once, who had served in RAC in North Africa , during the war. His reletives used to moan about him getting p*ssed, and then talk about it. How ungreatful. It used to make me so angry. Yet, they still enjoyed the freedom that he gave them...... flame
Hi all. Some very nice posts. I do like the idea of a memorial cross. i believe the New Zealand forces still do it too. We should do something similar in UK. But then , our successive governments have never looked after its Forces. Its makes my blood boil. flame The Canadian cross is particularly nice. John
Hi, I must admit , I haven't seen this one before, but it loks typicall era. there are several types in the same style which are usually small German helmets used for ash trays....
Mr Wasp, Most of the people you 've mentioned here have a better write up than Beharry. The media didn't print much either. I remember after the Falklands Campaign, when Jones & Mckay were to be awarded the VC, it was front page news for a week, and you coudn't get it off the television. Its sad, really, it appears to have been devalued . I can't see it going for a quarter of a million ounds at Spink.
