An interesting post Voltigeur.
The one at the top is RSM I James outside the guardroom at Victoria Barracks windsor. RSM James is wearing his GSM for services in Aden the previous year. The second medal is just the ribbon on a court mounting. This is common practice if the medal is 'in the post' as it were. Took me back mate. |

Hi Guys
