50 pence well spent or how research can really pay off

Nice research job Ade ...

.. There is something to having a service or issue number on an item ... It's makes it so much more personal AND researchable.
.... And of course if this research is done by yourself, a good sense of satisfaction can be gained !!

Hi, Ade:

Nice story about F. Stevenson. Nice research.

Did you know that (UK) National Archives now have some medal citations online?

I managed to dig up a long-lost cousin's 1945 MM citation for five quid (I think that was the fee).

Bringing this old thread back up for Garret.

Cheers, Ade.
