Thanks Robin.

I wish I had the others two Medals for Courage from the group which sadly got split from this one.

Cheers, Ade.

Excellent award and citation, Ade! I like the reference to the Landwehr Canal... I've been there!!

I've always wanted an award with a citation for the Battle of Berlin. You have me green with envy!!

It's always good (when possible) to do the research!
Good one Adrian

As ever, thanks for the comments.

I only have one un researched Red Star now. This is a later Long Service issue example.

But as many of the ones I have had done have turned out to be awarded to Officers, I am going to get Auke to pull the service records for me so I can add more detail and more importantly add faces to the names. So expect a lot more thread bumping!

Cheers, Ade.

That's why I asked Auke for the full research - "to put a face on the medal"
