Hello Everyone from a new member and 57 collector from the UK

[Markyboy]

Well hello everyone, I have been collecting 57 awards for a few years and dipped in and out of this forum during that time. The collecting bug has caught me again and so I thought it was time to join properly and start posting. I collect the combat awards, clasps, arm shields and have a fair stickpin collection but i don't collect the iron crosses or medals. I have been caught out over the years as others have but like to think I know what I'm doing now. I have also let awards pass me by only to regret it later. I has some very old and nice awards and in time will try to post some pictures for comment as at the moment I don't seem to be able to add attachments. I have also got some gap fillers and have a wish like which I should imagine is not dissimilar to others wish lists. I also have some doubles and have to confess many more of some badges I am addicted to para badges and destroyers for some reason I can't believe how many different colours they made the ship's in. I have battled my through the old posts and can see that there is a lot of knowledge and experience here and some wonderful badges. I am always keen to learn after all everyday is a school day and more than happy to help if I can. I am hopeful that I may be able to help someone with a piece they need and in time fill some gaps.

Best Wishes

Mark

Mark - you need to be paying ( association ) member to use the attachment service.
Otherwise you need to upload your images to an image host and link them.

Its been that long since I joined Mark, I can't remember what happens for new members, either there is a period of time which has to elapse before you can post pics, or you have to notch up a certain number of posts??
I am sure someone will remember!!!!!!!!!
If no one can help, and the problem persists, I will ask in the admin area!!

You need to be an Association member, or use an outside photo hosting site to post photos.
