His group? Hold on. Fully documented, but some things have "gone missing". :(

And him, with his son, you'll see what has gone missing.

Honestly, I think the family still has the SB, but has lost (!) the other PS. Haven't given up yet. (Hear they have uniforms too ....)

[Nota Bene]

No, they didn't loose it, just sold to somebody else. I hope you can reunite the group.

Has been done (as with all other of my MIAs), and -- while the database is soon to die? -- hope springs eternal and all that. We phalerists are naive dopes, right?

I am convinced -- as I see with South Asian medals -- that many/most things gone missing are -- as they used to say in "X-Files" -- "out there".
