Hi Annie
Happy New Year,
I have just been looking through the files on my computer for something and I've come across the listing of medals and badges that I sent to the dealer for appraisal.
If you are interested I can post them to you.
You may then understand the reason I miss them.
Cheers
Keith

Royal Rrtillery collar badges
Royal Artillery badge
Two Staffordshire Regiment badges
Territorial Efficiency Decoration
WW1 Silver War Badge

Land Girls badge
Fleet Air Arm wings
RAMC badges
Air Raid Precaution badge

Don't recognise the SFC or the Maltese Cross badges

How did I do?

This was the one that was really giving me trouble, and I I never even considered the St Johns Ambulance. That must be incredibly rare

Hi Kyt,

I don't know if it is rare, it was given to me by a friend, a nursing tutor at the local hospital.
He was also in the St.JAB. unfortunately he died after an operation a few years ago.
The wing was presented to him for supervising emergency medical aid and nursing after performing voluntary duties on an air ambulance from Spain.
Cheers
Keith
