I v had good and bad experiences
Posting and receiving
But I must say the post men/women
Have been outstanding
I received a parcel recently
At 5:45 PM i had given up
On saying to the postman I hope you have finished now
He said no not till he delivered the remaining parcels
2 Milk monitors were picked every Monday
i recall going out in the snow
to bring the metal creates in
they was covered in snow
we carried one between us up the stairs
only to find that a couple of inches of the milk at the top of the bottle
was frozen
we still drank them
The Soldier only had a medal card if he served overseas
those who served on the Home front did not get one
Also due to admin issues a small amount of medal cards
do not exist
i found this out when looking into my family WW1 service records
i have my Grandads Medals named to him
Yet no Medal...
