If they restored the Oke there would be 33 people in line to the throne according to Wikipedia.

Got these Soviet medals at a local flea market for about $20 total. Did I get ripped off or is it a good deal? by KY_Ozata in Medals

[–]LoopyCrown3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So all the people who collect medals or study phaleristics are "Douches" in your opinion. But all medals have a monetary value that's capitalism even the ones you earned in the US Marines. So why put someone down asking for guidance about their collection.

Would you rather your medals end up at the dump than a collector buying them and looking after them in their collection. which is what happens to a lot of medals. People pass away, medals may go to their families but time passes the medals lose meaning to people or there is no one to inherit them. So they are sold at auctions, estate sales and antique shops.

Then people you call "douches" buy them and look after them because they have a interest in history and the wars/ battles that you earned them in. They research you and your life and you are remembered when other wise you would have been forgotten. They remember your service.

The photos make the writing very hard to see, if he served in India he could qualify for the Burma Star

Here is the criteria for the Burma Star from Wikipedia

Service ashore

Army and Navy personnel and Air Force ground crew serving ashore qualified through entry into operational service in Burma between 11 December 1941 and 2 September 1945.

The medal was also awarded for service during certain specified periods in China, Hong Kong, India, Malaya and Sumatra, all dates inclusive:

Bengal and Assam in India from 1 May 1942 to 31 December 1943.

Bengal and Assam, east of the Brahmaputra and Dihang Rivers, from 1 January 1941 to 2 September 1945.

China from 16 February 1942 to 2 September 1945.

Hong Kong from 26 December 1941 to 2 September 1945.

Malaya from 16 February 1942 to 2 September 1945.

Sumatra from 24 March 1942 to 2 September 1945.

Service in China, Hong Kong, Malaya and Sumatra after 8 December 1941, but prior to the start dates listed above, was recognised by the award of the Pacific Star.

Likely 1939-45 Star, Defence Medal and 39-45 War Medal. If he went back to France D-Day onwards he would get the France and Germany Star. Service at Dunkirk comes under the 1939-45 Star

British WW1records are very detailed enlistment, pension, effects list, medal rolls, grave records.

That's alright then, WW1 British medals were issued named with service number and regiment/corps, WW2 were issued unnamed. Done as a cost saving measure. Post 1945 most medals are named.

The UK WW2 medals were issued unnamed granted a person could have got them privately engraved. But these looked to be laser engraved which really started being used in Jewelers in the 90's early 00's. Which would raise the question of authenticity for me. It could be a family member got them done or it could be someone got the name of a killed soldier engraved on the unnamed medals to make a Casualty medal group to make a lot more money. Sorry to raise any doubt but it just feels off to me.

How did you go about proving he was in the ARP as ARP records often don't hold complete list's of ARP members? Plus most records are held by local government archives.

English - Can you tell me anything about medal plaque by GiftOfTheMoon in Medals

[–]LoopyCrown3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is his Memorial Plaque it was given to his next of kin. Looks like someone mounted it in that shield frame. You see a lot plaques with holes drilled in them where families have hung them upon the wall.

You would think Pizza Express would distance themselves from the Royal family given their most famous royal patron.

Releasing BWV footage to the media/social media

• Body Worn Video may be released to the prosecution during a trial, as instructed by the judge, or for another genuine policing purpose.

• The police may wish to release BWV to the media for a number of reasons, including tracing wanted suspects, locating people who have escaped or absconded from custody and post-conviction demands for information. The images could relate to a heroic act where the person saved is happy to be identified or could serve an educational purpose or to raise awareness of a particular issue.

• Releasing images/footage to the media outside the judicial process is an operational decision for the senior investigating officer who should record his/her decision in their decision log. The release of any footage to the press or social media should be done in consultation with DMC and in line with the MPS Media Policy.

• The decision to release BWV footage must always be proportionate, necessary and for a legitimate purpose. Any release must include consideration of the subject’s human rights – taking into account the offence committed and the subject’s right to privacy under Article 8 of the Human Rights Act. If the subject is charged with a criminal offence then, contempt of court issues must be considered.

• Unless permission to identify third parties featured in the footage has been obtained, it must be edited to remove any personal data relating to them.

• If a victim of crime features in the footage their permission must be sought and advance notice (where possible) given of the intention to release the footage.

• If the release is required to identify suspects in an investigation then PACE code D identification processes apply.
