Hi, I just returned from a military market and one of the things a picked up was aribbon bar with the following awards British War medal - 1914-15 Star - British War medal - Victory Medal I will post pics later but my firsy question is : Was it possible to get two BWMs ? I suppose the normal order was Star-BWM-Victory but could he have been part of the operations in Russia 1919-20 and got another BWM later and attached it first on his WW 1 bar ?? The ribbons look and smell nice , old silk ribbons but I have never seen this combo before , anyone got any clues ? Pics will follow ! Christer

Hi Rebeccka , It took some time to find the book , I thought i would be quite easy but since it was published in 1997 it hade gone from most book sellers. But now I have 2 books on the way to Sweden! One for myself and one for your family. The price of the book is 38$ , the next mission eas to find the photo again wich I thought would be the least problem..... But, I haven´t found it yet ..... To my humble defence I have several tousands of World war 1 and world war 2 Photos and postcards. So I have a lot to search trough. And I now for sure that I havent sold it so the photo must be somewhere in my collection BUT I will find it and then I can make a bigger copy for you and enclose with the book. I keep on looking and let you know when the book arives and I find the Photo again ( I will search the house from roof down ) Best regards from Sweden , right now waiting for spring after the worst winter since 1941-42 ! Christer
