Thanks for your comments. Here is some British Home Guard items, all the property of Lt Col. Norman Wright, and given to me by his family.
Some Wehrpasses and Soldbuchs. They include an army drivers soldbuch with his discharge certificate and civilian paperwork in Russian, a prewar Antitank gunners Wehrpass with a wartime photograph, and a Luftwaffe Wehrpass with French postwar slip showing he volunteered for mine clearance duties. A detail photo shows that he was engaged in 'the struggle against England'. Finally is a Soldbuch for a Kriegsmarine NCO who served onboard a minesweeper.

Lots of great items, I love the pictures they all look so professional.
Thats indeed worth more ! Very nice group , i wonder if this was worn at an angle as the Valour medal youd expect to be on the other side ? The Soviet medal group i mean . sorry my post is later .
Thank you, im glad you like the collection and the pictures.
Rob, you are quiet right about the Soviet medals being in the wrong order. I have asked about this on the forum previously and indeed it seems they were designed to be worn diagonally, possibly along the lapel of a civilian suit, thus giving greater prominence to the bravery award.

Love all your items!!!!
Your very kind!
