Back on topic . . .
A nice medal and the unofficial naming (probably legitimate) makes it possible to seek the recommendation. If he is who we think he is, there's probably a recommendation in the archives (in New Delhi). There was a very small Indian allocation of the various BE classes.

Yes, a lovely little pair. I have little doubt they were lovingly named up by the recipient. And it is true that it wasn't an easy job to do. As miniatures are neither officially produced (in more cases) nor officially named, this pair says a lot about the person. I hope you have some luck in tracking him down.

Miniatures (being totally unofficial) are always difficult and naming without SOLID provenance may not make it much easier. Still, a nice miniatuire pair.

Sorry Ed, thought this little sentence was known. It's the ending of every mathematical proof. I'm quite bad at maths, but could remember at least that "q.e.d.".
QED I know quite well. It was the other one that threw me, as other languages have long since shoved aside my three years of secondary school Latin.

"Give it away"? More humor?
It is, however, an absolutely FASCINATING order. Galloway's book is first-rate!

Ed:
There is a OGPW 1st class serial number 226284 currently listed in Alex Filer's website database.
Good luck!
Yes, I posted it as a "wanted" item. I know the chances are near zero, but stranger things have happened.

A nice example of a privately named OBE.
Peter has done a good job of surveying the IDF. Soon, there will be a serious book dealing with them.

Nice picture -- and very familiar looking. Out of chaos comes knowledge. Is scholarship like sausage in terms of the desirability of watching it being made?
