 | Seems a good point to ask if anyone can recommend a decent general book on C19th-C20th British medals and their ribbons? Been wanting one with a bit of each award's history attached for a while.

 | I haven't been there for years. I went with my dad in the late 90's, as one of his uncles was killed whilst with the 12 RF in 1916 at Sanctuary Wood (Ypes Salient). Although, as mentioned, it is a small museum we found it very interesting and well worth a visit.
