Theyre my dads (no hes not German by the way :p ) but he collects medals but hes decided to sell these on, shame really as the second set has all the paperwork realting to one soldier!

Im hoping that they sell and fetch a little bit of money, he forgets about them and i can use the money on SW. :p :eek: :lol:

I have a few myself, from years ago. No idea what any of them are worth though. What's your old man think those 3 are worth?

As the set all awarded to the same solider its very rare and a even rarer screwback 1st class cross so were hoping it would fetch Ã'£250+....

The other cased cross nearer the Ã'£200 i would have thought....

Doesn't sound much compared to some of the Star Wars stuff i buy tho considering these are from between 1914-1918!!

:? I think there are only about a dozen soliders (of any nationality) left who fought in the first world war.

I think you are right, i am hoping that historians are talking to them to document their memories etc.

I remember hearing about a historian who started to write a book called "Britain's last Tommies" about the memories etc of the last 20 or so British veterans of WW1 who were still alive. I think in the year between him starting to write the book and finishing it 60% of them died. :?
