Get Well soon Tony Colson:vets' pics

[McCulloh]

As you know, Tony has been ill. Tony is quite well known in imperial collecting and OMSA circles. He has authored many articles about imperial vets' medals and badges. So, in order to welcome him back (soon), I thought I'd post imperial vets' pictures (with awards). Please feel free to post your own to welcome him back as soon as possible.
