And . . .

And . . .

And . . . will start this . . .

Reverse . . .

But . . . the untranslated paperwork (near on to 1 cm):

And . . .

No other formal documents (though it is said that there are other documents and papers "out there", yet to be extracted -- hope springs eternal).

And . . .

Other things

And . . . .

Ooo ooo ooo (for those old enough to remember "Car 54, Where Are You?")

Paperwork? Files? Citations?

Which Academy badge is that? I can't read what it says on the shield.

Nifty nifty nifty "modern" general group!!!

Do not wish to be reminded of age, Rick. Enough things do that as it is.

Paperwork you ask . . . ??

Your wish is my command. Especially as the bundle came with almost no translations . . .

and another . . .

Many thanks. That's loads of help. Can you tell me the background or possible religion of this man?

Sepoy 3519 Sher Mohd, 93rd Burma Infantry.

Again, it's from a Victory Medal I have.

Thanks,

Duncan.

The 93rd Burma Infantry in WWI had 2 companies of Sikhs, 2 of Punjabi Muslims. 3519 Sepoy Sher Muhammad was one of the Punjabi Muslims.

Hi Ed, several things on there I have not seen on bars before. The 40 Year Lenin Medal for one. What are the two on red ribbons at the end of his third (!!) Medal bar?

The next-to-last - Bulgaria: Medal "30th Anniversary of Victory over Fascist Germany". Last? No clue. Both on incorrect ribbons, though .

Another . . . more mainstream . . .

A recent arrival, maybe not as entirely welcomed as some of the others, but needed for "the set".
