Herr General Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Thank you! This veteran lives close to me. He has lost all his medals . I already have an original British war Medal unnamed and a original British 1939-45 Star unnamed. I want to chase up the other medals and have them court mounted for him as a gift!
