Awful. What is it with some people. Surely it wasn't just the medals they were after. Let's hope the Police
catch those responsible and hopefully recover the medals. |

Speaking of medals I see there is a very interesting one on Bid or Buy.
"Original South Africa medal awarded to Trooper Coetzee, Buffalo Border Guard , a survivor of Isandhlwana. It has been made into a brooch ! A rare medal for a small unit. Priced at 20000 Rand / plus-minus 988 GBP. Anyone interested ? |
