Ulsterman Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 sweet!! I always wonder about these;they have such great stories behind them. If only they had numbered them.
sabrigade Posted December 10, 2009 Author Posted December 10, 2009 To be honest, this is the first one I have ever seen. Regards, Will
Ulsterman Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Well, it's pretty darn nice. I think of these as being on a level with an MGS or Waterloo in terms of desirability. I have met a couple of people who earned these and read a bit about a number of the ones awarded in the USA and they ALL represent a tale worth hearing. The last one I "saw" was worn by its recipient, a civilian US Air Corp woman (who had gone to Wellesley and was a runner up for "Miss New England" in 1940)who had flown something like 500 bombers to the UK during the war. It was her only medal.
Shots Dave Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 Here is the female bow version of the award. You will notice the small BWRS(British War Relief Society) badge which could be an indication as to the reason for the award to the recipient. Here are a couple of interesting pieces of information: https://bid.candtauctions.co.uk/m/lot-details/index/catalog/54/lot/17195?url=%2Fm%2Fview-auctions%2Fcatalog%2Fid%2F54%3Fpage%3D1%26view%3Dlist https://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-80833115/view?partId=nla.obj-80841559#page/n0/mode/1up 2
