The medal collection

[Robert Bonner]

Work on the big medal project is almost complete and the website has opened today.
Go to www.themenbehindthemedals.org.uk   and open up to see the biographies and photographs of some 800 soldiers of the regiment whose medals are held in the collection.

The official launch of the Men behind the Medals project takes place tomorrow - Thursday 12 December - between 12 noon and one o'clock in the museum. Any members of the Forum will be made most welcome.

Visited the Museum today (along with a good number of people).The books are hugely impressive and have been meticulously researched. They will be a great reference source for future generations. Only one question-where can I get copies ?  

[Robert Bonner]

It certainly was a splendid occasion, with so many of the people who had contributed information about their family medals being present.  It was also one of those rare opportunities to see three of the Forum moderators sober & in their right minds - in the shape of Kingo, Harribobs & Robert.
