40 GPW.

30 GPW.

20 GPW. Wherever he was, it will soon become evident that there were SEVERE post-war shortages of ink for their stamp pads. Obvious capitalist plotting. There IS a stamp there, but illegible in real life and unredeemable even by scan-tweaking.

No reason (or is there?) to show the document for his jubilee OPW 2 (#3507387). Before moving on to selections from familiar documents (interesting, perhaps, only for the stamps and scribbled notations above the signatures?), let me show two documents I don't know. First:

-

And the third page (thereafter it goes off into 3 pages of regulations).
-
The first page spread. Pretty faded. The medal number, at the bottom of the right-hand page, is 5958.
