Guys,
Been back to UK at the week end and found this group.
I thought it had a bit of character to it and that some old boy has worn them with pride at some point.
I love the 'tired' ribbons.
They were cheap and cheerful so I had em!

Re: Salty Group
Nice honest looking group. Always makes me a bit sad to see them sold. But glad they have gone to a good home.
Cheers, Ade.
Re: Salty Group
Very true Ade, but I suppose without 'money grabbing off-spring' we would be out of a hobby. I was drawn to them because of the ware and tare on the ribbon, truly sad that people will part with family history for the price of a round in the local.by Adrian Stevenson

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Re: Salty Group
You know Jock, that is exactly why I collect the Victory medal. The name is right on the rim, and there is a chance to get the back to their rightful owner's family. Some part of the family may want them back.
Like what this gentleman does...
