Thanks for sharing, Stephen. I'm guessing the British War Medal was sold for its silver content when times were tough.
Cheers, John

Superb. I think these souvenirs in a tin are so evocative of a soldier's service.If the badges could speak they would have some tales to tell.

Thanks for sharing

Mark
