Hi All.
We now know that Alfred Davies was in China 1900-02, not only due to his marriage cert, but also his China campaign medal has just been sold by a dealer. We think he was in G coy. Are there any records at all, names on photo's ect.
Regards Norman

Disappointing, especially as we alerted the family to the fact that the family jewels were being sold off. Oh well, upwards and onwards.

AP1, Blairy

Brenda has been very busy just lately. We, as a family, are very greatful to you for bringing the sale of the medals to our attention. I have managed to purchase 15, my son 3, Brenda got a couple, an Aunt a couple & my sister 1. We lost the lapel badges, 2 gold medals, 1 shooting medal and the China medal. I have a couple of photo's of Alfred with the medals. I will try to upload them later. Once again thankyou.

Not like any thing issued i have ever seen could it be a shooting jacket or even something awarded for shooting (a bit like the yellow jersey in cycling) ?
