Horace lale

[Ahewlett]

Hi I'm trying to contact jonightflyer about a post he done on this site(oct 2006) about Horace lale. Horace lale is my great great granddad and jonightflyer posted pictures of his medals. If anyone knows jonightflyer or has any pictures or Horace lale medals my family would be interested in buying them. Please contact me by email on ahewlett15@gmail.com

Hi,

If I have the correct group, they are up for auction with Dix, Noonan and Webb next month.

Here is the link, https://www.dnw.co.uk/auctions/catalogue/lot.php?auction_id=448&lot_id=5052

Hi Alan,

Yes it is an eye watering amount! But as the listing says, a truly unique group! 

Perhaps you could get a replica set assembled and make a nice display instead? 

Either way, a fascinating man to have as an ancestor and I enjoyed reading about him!

Yep the family have found out things about him we didn't know from some of the post on in this group. I'll have a look about having a replica set made. 

Thanks for your help

Good luck with your hunt for photos!  What a shame that the group is no longer with your family.
