Hi I just joined today with the hope of locating my great grandfathers death penny. I do geneology and found on his Canadian Millitary site a picture of his penny. Speaking with the authority of this site she told me that the penny was found by someone who locates millitary objects and takes pictures for proper documentation for that particular soldier. This investigator found the penny on ebay but doesn't remember when he found it or who the buyer/seller was. Ebay was of no help in assisting me and search engines only go back 3 months, no luck. I'm finding that collectors in this field are very secretitive about their collections. Is there anyone out there that knows of a plaque of a Canadian soldier by the name of Frederick Robert English, WWI, died in France. Any help would be very appreciated.

Thank you Matt.
Bruce, welcome to the forum. There is a medals wanted topic on this forum.
This one here is NOT a wants topic. I can see this is your first post so I know you are not deliberately trying to irritate the pals who have posted here, but you will if you leave it.
Please remove your post and place it in the correct topic.
Regards.
Tom.

Canuk69 and C Clive.
Posting wants on here irritates all the lads and lassies who donate to this thread and they are less likely to help you as posts like yours are corrupting it and filling it with these off topic requests. This is NOT a wants topic. There is one of those elsewhere on this forum. I am sure all who have medals, plaques, awards etc, check the wants topic to see if they have something that a pal wants, I certainly do and never reply to them should I have what they want after corrupting this topic. You have no idea how difficult this thread was to begin. If it continues to become more corrupted I will ask the moderators to pull it altogether.
Tom.

[c clive]

My sincere apologies for upsetting anyone I assure you this was a genuine mis- understanding Colin

[museumtom]

I understand Clive, please delete your post.
Tom.

[museumtom]

May I please ask the mods to delete wanted posts above as CliveC and Canuk69 refuse to do so. They are desecrating this topic and the goodwill earned over the years by the posters here.
Regards.
Tom.

[SFayers]

Another group to add if I may:

Frederick READ, Suffolk Yeomanry (1914/15 Star Trio)

All the best

Steve

[c clive]

I have apologised for my error and I have deleted the posting why do continue to make the accusation that I have refused to do so when it is clearly deleted. Perhaps this is a misunderstanding as well . Colin

[museumtom]

No misunderstanding Clive, you deleted it after  12:26 which was the time of my previous post. If your post was not there I would not have drawn notice to it.
Tom.

[museumtom]

Thank you Matt and Steve.
Regards.
Tom.

[Krithia]

For gawd sake Museuemtom, leave poor Colin alone, he has done what you have asked.

Moderator, please delete all these bickery posts as it is (including my own admittedly) polluting the thread.

thanks

[River97]
