<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike H-S, post: 181225, member: 3219&quot;]Good&nbsp; to know,&nbsp; but I don&#039;t plan to sell them; I like to keep family things that connect to the past - I also own my great-grandfather&#039;s China War medal for the Relief of Pekin during the Boxer Rebellion, and all of his personal papers - Including personal correspondence from Beatty, who was his Commander when he won his medal, and who later became First Sealord, the First Earl Beatty (he took the surrender of the German navy at the end of WW2 and is one of the other two statues in Trafalgar Square). My great grandfather was the Admiral&#039;s Messman for most of his career (I have all of his service records). Money&#039;s nice, but it don&#039;t beat roots!</p><p><br /></p><p>Link to pictures in case historical documents, medals and militaria are of interest to anybody: <a href="https://m.facebook.com/michael.hawkes.31/albums/402034243254970/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://m.facebook.com/michael.hawkes.31/albums/402034243254970/" rel="nofollow">https://m.facebook.com/michael.hawkes.31/albums/402034243254970/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Me I just like to own a bit of my family history.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
