I thinks it's one of those popular badges I was surprised to that the other set hadn't sold I wonder if its because the dates on the back don't tally On about sets did anyone get the beautiful medal set complete with the boxed Tommies?  A rare and beautiful set. I so I'd really love to see a photo on here and I bet the story behind the medals is equally as finding

I afraid it went to a dealer who intends to sell it on once researched(Me).So far I have ascertained that the recipient was in the East African Military Nursing Service(Of which I know little) and served with 150 British General Hospital.She was apparently on the SS Khedive Ismail carrying troops to the Far East in in January 1944 when it was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in the Indian Ocean with a loss of 1,269 personnel ,including 77 women.She was one of the few survivors.It does rather put some of our concerns in to context!

Think Im doomed with EB as I was waiting to grab a nurses GNC book this afternoon as I got her nursing notes written in my era (60's) and I wanted to put them together. A friend arrived and I missed my chance!!If anybody on S of N got it they can purchase the notes from me or sell the GNC work record to me.

As I was the underbidder at the auction where this was sold,I had thought that nobody would pay silly money for this but perhaps I need to redefine my definition of "Silly"?

[Sarah Rogers]

Wow- what mark up is she asking?
