Award Card Front... Doc

Here are the medals and Nominal Roll Card of an Australian William Lindsay Buckham. All are properly named. The only problem is that the person that mounted these on the card used two-sided tape to hold the medal to the card. What is the best way to get the sticky mess of of the medals? I will request his Service records from the Australian Archives as soon as I can. They do an excellent job!!! Doc

Hallo Ed, I only have the research for my book...no gongs. Rick, I'll try to get them posted by tomorrow. I have a family situation that I have to go to California for two weeks to take care of Mom (post-op) and Dad (Parkinson's). I'm working out the details of when Mom needs me there. Doc

And our Doctor. Yeah it's a bad Service record photo...
