Surely there must be some new British medal bars out there with marker’s labels. Anyone???

And some more interesting ephemera regarding Boer War PoWs. The top one is of a Boer PoW camp in Ceylon (Sri Lanka today), and the second one has the caption, "How the first British prisoners arrived in Pretoria, the three figures in front are Boer guards."

Although not a medal, this photo is interesting with regards to the previous post on Indian troops captured and held in Germany. This photo was taken in July 1942 during or after the first battle of El Alamein, which was from 1 - 27 July. Seven thousand allied troops were captured, and there were 3,000 casualties alone in the 5th Indian Division.

And with help, here's a photo of the relevant page indeed showing that A. Petterson was entitled to the Egypt 1882 with Tel-el-Kebir clasp and the Khedive's Star 1882.

Hi Michael, Thank you for verifying that he’s on the roll. Oddly, my choice on genealogy doesn’t have medal rolls. ? so I can’t get a photo of it. I sincerely appreciate your reply! All the very best, John

Upon receiving the medal, I see that it is different from what was listed on the dealer's site and is named to Interpreter A. Petterson. If anyone has any information on him, I would be most grateful if you'd contact me. Thanks in advance.

These are fascinating groups. How difficult is it to find a Korean War group to an Indian. I’ve been looking for 15 years and haven’t come across one.

Marcon1, Thanks for reminding me of this excellent resource. All the best, JL

Congratulations! It’s a wonderful feeling to reunite a broken group. I’ve had the pleasure of doing so nine times over 44 years of collecting. Please post a photo when they’re all together.

Hello, i recently acquired an Egypt 1882 with Tel-El-Kebir clasp officially named to interpreter A Patterson. As there were only 42 issued with the clasp and 138 issued without the clasp to interpreters, it would seem fairly scarce. I know there is a nominal roll of civilians who were awarded the medal for their services, but it’s not available online. If anyone has a copy and could verify Patterson’s medal and clasp, I would be most appreciative. I’m pleased to have acquired this medal out of interest, but also as it used to be in Major John Tamplin’s OBE TD civilian collection, which sold through DNW a few years back, and he was a friend of mine from OMRS and OMSA. Many thanks in advance.

When I lived and worked in the Kimgdom, it was ten donations. Most people took the money, which was over around 250 or 275 SR. I knew a Canadian diplomat who got one for donating blood and then got the Canadian government to allow him to wear it.

There’s quite an interesting discussion on this thread of under Netherlands on the GMIC. Stabilization Force (SFOR) Medal = Copy?!?!

Hi Sampo, Thank you. How can you tell their copies? Best, jl

How can you see that the Gulf War Medal was made by Spink & Sons? Thanks in advance.

Here's a nice modern group. I really like the modern Dutch bars. Would you mind telling what each medal is in order from right to left? Thanks!

Excellent research and a very emotive group. Well done and thanks for sharing! I look forward to more! John

Rob, great research on a historically important group. Well done!

It’s been a while since anyone has posted on this thread. Are there any new round badge acquisitions?

Can anyone post photos of a Faberge St Stan’ thank you.

I’m bumping this in the hope that more art will be added. There are some amazing drawings in this thread.

I agree with you Brett!

Wonderful masks. The Musical Instrument Museum just had a fantastic exhibit of masks and music of the Congo. They put out an excellent catalogue of the masks too, which you might enjoy. Best, JL

The medals designed by Dan Reisinger are arguably some of the most aesthetically pleasing and powerful ever minted.

This is really good and important information. Thank you!

This is a fascinating thread. Thanks for posting.
