Medal "For Rescuing The Drowning".

[Christophe]

Keith,

A big thank for your help and have taken time trying it. That's the first light... I was despairing in fact...

What means "Oblast' ?

Can any one complete Keith's first try in translating ?

Many thanks.

Ch.

You have to imagine that each of these rescues has their own story. Most likely newspaper articles if not even greater coverage. The problem is finding the articles...

My father was national news in Australia for a rescue and all that remains of the story is a very worn clipping and the legend. There was film once upon a time but it is doubtful to have survived.

Maybe these rescue stories will present themselves one day. It certainly seems like the sort of feat in which there was at least a citation somewhere.....
