Adlershot medal cased

[Steiner]

Good day Gentlemen

I would like to share with you one of my finds.

I couple of years ago a picked up a group of WW1 medals to a SJT. P.G. Webster s/n 152000 (what a great s/n!) of the CASC.

In early October of 2006 while on lunch I was going through an antique shop and saw a small medal in case from The Adlershot Command Athletic Association inside was a medal issued to a P.G. Webster driver for the 5th Canadian Division, Team Wrestling on Horseback winners.

I was dumbfounded and quickly purchased the medal. Since all the medals were purchased in my home town I can guess that at auction somehow the group was separated but fortunately I was able to regroup as it were.

Take heart fellow collectors sometimes the medal Gods do shine on you and here is proof of that.

Regards

Good thing it wasn't Salisbury Plain.

Team Wrestling on Horseback in the Mud boggles the mind.
