    • @pauldaviesantiques1556
      @pauldaviesantiques1556 6 місяців тому

      Hi. Not an expert on Wedgwood, but think they are more likely to be the decorator's marks. If they are in one of the colours used in the design, that's a possible answer.

    Hi Paul, i recently went to Ypres on a battlefield tour, without a doubt the best Christmas present i have ever received. I have since done a bit of research and have found out my Great Grandfather was there, he was awarded the three medals for the war, also received the MM for action at Trones wood. I would like to trace his medals if possible, his name was Alfred Lee, he was with the 6th Battalion Northamptonshire Regiment. I have his service number (13524) and a few other bits of info. Any advice would be much appreciated.

    • @pauldaviesantiques1556
      @pauldaviesantiques1556 8 місяців тому

      It's fascinating isn't it? I also had a great uncle who sadly died in France in 1914. Tracing medals is not something I have experience of, but believe there are specialist companies in the uk. My advice would be to start with the British Legion. There help line is open seven days a week: 0808 802 8080. Best of luck with your search.

    I wish there was someone that could identify my piece I am quite sure it’s copper I cleaned enough of the oxidation off to reveal flowers in each corner and two inside. I have looked at hundreds of different pieces and have talked to normal people that have no idea what it is or where it comes from, some people have suggested that it came from Sweden or Israel in the early 1900’s. I live in southern Utah it’s hard to find anyone with knowledge.

    Thank you. I've seen a hardback advertised as a first edition, which says 'first printed' but the hardback number line says 10 9. Then below it has the complete paperback number line, so I guess its the 9th hardback printing in the first year.

  • @FuzzyBear100
    @FuzzyBear100 Рік тому

    Certainly fascinating medals. One thing I find unfortunate for my own situation, is that somewhere along the line my Great Great Grandfather either lost or sold his medals (perhaps even someone in the family later on) and haven't had much luck finding any sales records or traces of them online to possibly re-acquire them as they're now likely in the hands of a collector who isn't interested in parting with them.

    • @OurThaiJourney

      I am looking for my grandfather's medals as well. I suspect his second wife inherited them, and they were lost when she died as she had no children. Can you suggest where I can search if someone has purchased them? Arthur Watts 641 Royal Newfoundland Regiment.

  • @t0dd000
    @t0dd000 Рік тому

    I didn't hear him explain *why* they line up all those numbers. I mean, why not just state the edition and the printing. Why 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10? The reason: is easier to just delete the old printing number than it is to change a number. This was especially true in the age of printing plates where a change to the text meant recreation of the plate. Or retypesetting the page. It was easy back then to just remove the number. Today is easier, of course, but the practice still remains.

    • @pauldaviesantiques1556
      @pauldaviesantiques1556 2 роки тому

      Hello Anthony. It's tricky because there were so many medals struck and many were split from their 'brother' medal because of the silver value. I'd start with the obvious (ebay & a uk auction house search via thesaleroom.com) including his name and regiment in the search, and maybe also contact an online group or society for your GG Grandfather's regiment. Failing that, I believe you may be able to apply to have a replacement struck, but don't know the costs involved. Best of luck - it could be out there. Paul
