These medals were reunited in one
evening!
This story I still believe is fate...
I had a 'feeling' about a single BWM
medal whilst browsing a dealers site - 'William Bailey' , Royal
Warwickshire Regiment - so bought it. Later the same evening I saw his 15 star
on another dealer that was based in south of the UK (The BWM had come from
Northumberland)
When I spoke to the dealer who was
selling the 15 star he was surprised and pleased by my story of the reunite -
the 15 star had come from a collection that had recently come to the market
that, to his knowledge, had been locked away for at least 25 years!
Sadly, no papers exist for William so
we were unable to trace where he may have lived (His MIC card does exist
however, showing his entitlement to a 15 trio and shows service with the Labour
Corps)
The two medals were court mounted for
display and also to ensure they are never parted again!
