GALLANTRY MEDALS SOLD

[Gil Boyd]

Good points there. Yes I know Taff Meredith very well. A tough Welshman who did not suffer fools gladly and a true recipient of the DCM in his circumstances at Goose Green.
He has always been a get up and go person and should have got a bigger honour at Wireless Ridge immediately after Goose Green but it was never written up.
We all assumed it was becuase he one in the bag already.
I am lucky my son still serves as a CSM, so he will get my medals.
I think in Taff's circumstances I don't blame him, we are getting no younger and if there are things to be done with that amount......brilliant, crack on!!

All he has to do now is spent a £100 and get a load of replacements court mounted and noone will even notice, as you say. Unless you have them, and served and understand each one and what it stands for................. its meaningless to the vast majority!!

Porbably like Canadians and American troops, due to the campaigns that have evolved in the last 30 years, men are leaving with 20+ medals. No blazer pocket in the world can withstand that weight

Mounted them in a display case for my son.

Mine are in a shadowbox as well. I don't take them out even for remembrance day.

You are, mine all chose not to.

Ours are leaving with an average of nine after decades of near nothing, at most three or four.
