P.S. By the way, does anybody know if Inspector Ridge is on the medal role for the Africa general Service medal?

Ref my earlier I regret this is less than precise- The BMF data base in question covers the AGS generally, not the specific medal to Ridge.Apologies for any hopes raised and dashed !

Hi 1314,

Not to worry.

I've looked at the site and peter Ridge's medals are listed. Also I certainly enjoyed looking at some of the fantastic groups that people had in the data base.

All the best,

David
