as far as i can remember it was like first come first served on the plastic helmets, a lot of the boys ended up dumping them in favor of the good old steel one's because they where tried and tested and you've only got one head :shocked:

my work was going to dump this so if anybody wants it it's free just come to gt yarmouth and get it (if that makes sence LOL )

thanks for all your reply's guys. of course your right, it took years of blood sweat and tears to get them ,will have to think of something else ,cheers steve :nut:

dont know if this is the right place to post this if not im sorry and please delete , i am at the moment going through a period of financially difficulty and am thinking of selling my medals ,the question is how much are they worth ,i don't fancy going to a medal dealer as i know they have to also make a living . i anybody could roughly give me a ball park figure i would be very grateful, the medals are south atlantic medal with rosette northern ireland general service medal good conduct /long service medal accummulated campaign service medal nato bosnia medal might even sell my cherry beret many thanks steve
