OMRS Convention Medal Fair

Description

We have a good selection of new material which will make their debuts at this year’s Medal Fair at the OMRS Convention at Kents Hill Park Conference & Training Centre, Milton Keynes on 20th September

The following items are all being researched currently. They are amongst 100 new items to be shown.

The Star of the show being the

Great War medal trio with Long Service medal group of 4 to one of the 32 Officers and Crew of the stranded and shelled submarine E15, taken Prisoner of War with the original parchment papers and other documents of this Submariner whose career was spent in the Submarine Service until the 1930s.

Pride of our stock is the most superb Sporting Great War medal group.

Great War medal trio to Reggie Walker, South African Infantry. The significance of this humble trio is that in 1908 Reggie Walker was the 100 metre winner at the 1908 Olympic Games held in London. He won the 100 metres in 10.8 seconds, a time bettered by the current owner in 1978 (see below).
