Fabulous collection to add to my WW1 collection, only joking Peter! Can't afford any more WW1 nursing medals for a long time, I've spent a fortune on them. Useful to know that auctioneers name. Haven't seen anything recently on Fellows.

This lot sold for £11,200 plus commission ,which was 22 1/2 % making a grand total of £13,720.I do hope that it went to a good home,unfortunately though not mine!

Just bid on a Military nursing medal group of South Africa pair and 3 WW1 medals.The estimate was £150-200,I thought it would go for around £600-800,the hammer price was £3100. The demand for good military groups is far exceeding supply both for Military and Nursing collectors. Good to see them appreciated even if I never manage to win any!!!
