Mr Laycock's research ability is second to none- A very hard earned skill gained with many long trips to the public Records office at Kew this was back when researching a medal group was a skill and not just typing a name in your Google..... Paul would often do this for a small fee but would some times return with a mountain of paperwork for u .
There was the humble shoe box of 2nd war Stars and medals bit of cloth a cap badge and a rather tatty A.B64 if the dealer Paul bought this off had done even basic investigation he would have discovered this humble lot was to a Colditz prisoner ...and then there was the similar un assuming lot that turned out to be a member of S.O.E who parachuted in to Yugolavia and fought with Titos partisans for 14 months but that's another story !
