A lovely set you have there Dujailah...You don't come across a set like that everyday..& living in the South West just adds to it!! Cheers Terry.

Thorne 83, Thank you so much for all the information you got for me. I never even knew he served in the Boer war! It gives the item so much more depth when you know what the person was like and where he served. Thanks again!

Wow! It is not often that you are able to reunite medals. A lucky break I suppose. A good feeling I'm sure!

Yeah, it's very rare to do this. I've been collecting for 20 years & I'm lucky it's happened to me 4 times! The best one is this group to: -

Name: Thomas Reginald Barrett
Birth Place: Rangoon
Residence: Instow, Devon
Death Date: 24 Oct 1914
Death Location: France & Flanders
Enlistment Location: Exeter
Rank: Private

I bought the pair from a UK dealer in May 13 & the Star from U.S. eBay in July 13. Just need the plaque now!!

Cheers,

Richard.
