What an amazing citation a modern day Rorke's Drift encounter . It's also interesting to see the number of medals awarded back then for 22 years plus of service.

I don;t know who is selling the medals, or why they are being sold. I knew someone from the same regiment who had IIRC those same four clasps to his GSM as well as Radfan. I can't remember if he had the LS & GC as well, but I do know that he received a BEM before his premature death. RIP Taff.
