Let us know if you find out anymore. |
Your right about it going to someone who actually cares. The other guy who was bidding against me does have an interest but he has a house and garden full of this stuff (including tanks and other vehicles) and it would of been lost somewhere in amongst the junk. The medal certainly wasn't sold at the same auction or i would of got that as well. It probably got sold many years ago, probably during the depression by a lonely widow.
I will let you know if i find out anymore about him. Thanks for the medal card page, i'll get that ordered.
Take care
Mike
