Group of 3 World War 1 Miniatures - Rare The British War Medal, 1914-18 Established on 26th July 1919. Also known as 'Squeak'. The silver or bronze medal was awarded to officers and men of the British and Imperial Forces who either entered a theatre of war or entered service overseas between 5th August 1914 and 11th November 1918 inclusive. This was later extended to services in Russia, Siberia and some other areas in 1919 and 1920. Approximately 6.5 million British War Medals were issued. Approximately 6.4 million of these were the silver versions of this medal. Around 110,000 of a bronze version were issued mainly to Chinese, Maltese and Indian Labour Corps. The front (obv or obverse) of the medal depicts the head of George V. The Allied Victory Medal Also known as 'Wilfred' It was decided that each of the allies should each issue their own bronze victory medal with a similar design, similar equivalent wording and identical ribbon. The British medal was designed by W. McMillan. The front depicts a winged classical figure representing victory. Approximately 5.7 million victory medals were issued. Interestingly, eligibility for this medal was more restrictive and not everyone who received the British War Medal ('Squeak') also received the Victory Medal ('Wilfred'). However, in general, all recipients of 'Wilfred' also received 'Squeak' and all recipients of 'Pip' also received both 'Squeak' and 'Wilfred'. The Territorial Force War Medal, 1914-1919 Very Rare Instituted on 26th April 1920. Only members of the Territorial Force and Territorial Force Nursing Service were only eligible for this medal. They had to have been a member of the Territorial Force on or before 30th September 1914 and to have served in an operational theatre of war outside the United Kingdom between 5th August 1914 and 11th November 1918. An individual who was eligible to receive the 1914 Star or 1914/15 Star could not receive the Territorial War Medal. The obverse (front) of the medal shows an effigy of King George V with the words GEORGIVS BRITT OMN:REX ET IND: IMP: The reverse of the medal has the words TERRITORIAL WAR MEDAL around the rim, with a laurel wreath and the words inside the wreath FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE OVERSEAS 1914-1919. Approximately 34,000 Territorial Force War Medals were issued. Condition: As per photo's

1995 paperback with 456 pages in good condition. R55 postage in SA. The Thousand-Mile War, a powerful story of the battles of the United States and Japan on the bitter rim of the North Pacific, has been acclaimed as one of the great accounts of World War II. Brian Garfield, a novelist and screenwriter whose works have sold some 20 million copies, was searching for a new subject when he came upon the story of this "forgotten war" in Alaska. He found the history of the brave men who had served in the Aleutians so compelling and so little known that he wrote the first full-length history of the Aleutian campaign, and the book remains a favorite among Alaskans. The war in the Aleutians was fought in some of the worst climatic conditions on earth for men, ships, and airplanes. The sea was rough, the islands craggy and unwelcoming, and enemy number one was always the weather--the savage wind, fog, and rain of the Aleutian chain. The fog seemed to reach even into the minds of the military commanders on both sides, as they directed men into situations that so often had tragic results. Frustrating, befuddling, and still the subject of debate, the Aleutian campaign nevertheless marked an important turn of the war in favor of the United States. Now, half a century after the war ended, more of the fog has been lifted. In the updated University of Alaska Press edition, Garfield supplements his original account, which was drawn from statistics, personal interviews, letters, and diaries, with more recently declassified photographs and many more illustrations.

WWII VERY RARE (Single Decal) Medic South African Desert Helmet, desert sand camouflaged dated with her original net and field dressing complete with very rare type liner and chin strap. This Helmet comes with her original Medic Bag! "Not the Water Bottle!!" ~ Only The Helmet & the Bag "these two came together as a set!" together in the same crate whom belonged to the same medic who these items once belonged to back in WWII. South Africa made, a genuine piece of Second World War history, it's an original dated South African helmet.
It's original owner fought in the British 8th Army as a medic in Africa against Germany, the Afrika Corps. Eighth Army had the South African 2nd Infantry Division making a total of 7 divisions.

Everything about this is 100% correct and finding a medic Helmet today has become almost virtually impossible let alone a Medic Helmet due to their scarcity and value in the collectors market, these pieces are those collectors usually keep and this helmet along with all it's contents are as issued together as a set and the first aid field dressing kit was added under the net by the soldier and left as it was and kept that way!! Even the chin strap is in working order and beautifully preserved, she came with the net and the first aid pouch!
the liner is stamped with "JAGER-RAND U (with WD arrows inside the "U") .

stamped size 7 1/8 The decal on this medic Medic helmet is brilliantly preserved and this helmet overall has been taken care of very well.  As with other Imperial contingents, South African troops on the Western Front in W.W.I wore the British Brodie or Mk.I helmet.In World War II, South Africa began production of its own helmets, based on the British Mk.II with a copy of the early Lining Mk.I.

The bodies were made by Transvaal Steel Pressing Syndicate, the linings by Jäger Rand. Nearly 1.5 million helmets were produced. Helmets were provided to the other contingents in North Africa and India. Many ended up in Greece after the War. Body: Unlike the Mk.I or other Commonwealth made Mk.IIs, South African made Mk IIs are almost circular in shape (1 foot/30cm in diameter The chin-strap lugs are square and attached by flat headed rivets Three holes were punched between the skull and the rear rim. It is thought these were to attach a curtain, but no evidence of this has been found. Chin-Strap: Most had the British Mk.II type chin-strap with the elastic Mk.III or IIIA type on later issues.
Lining: Like the British Lining Mk.I, with an oval felt top pad and round felt or rectangular foam buffers. I had another Helmet similar to this one many years ago that I sold for R to a collector in New Zealand, the two Medic helmets were the only two I have ever come across in my life, they are unobtainable today and highly collectable overseas. This one is in far better condition and complete. I am asking very little for this helmet cause I need to sell quick together with it's bag.

US Speical Force Faves -  Afghan Pakol Cap - Coyote Brown The pakol is part of the Chitrali Khow culture, and got its popularity during Afghan war when mujahideen members started using it, as it was an excellent alternative to the Pashtun turban. Today it has become an integral part of Pashtun culture all over the world, and that is one of the reasons it became one of the major items sold by Chitrali business men outside Chitral. In Peshawar there is a market called Chitrali bazaar, and one of the major products is the pakol. Originally the pakol was made from Chitrali patti, a woolen cloth made from hand-spun yarn,[1] but due to high prices and scarcity of Chitrali patti, business men started making it from other sources also. The hat may have originated in the Chitral and Nuristan region. However, its ancestor is perhaps the remarkably similar ancient Macedonian kausia.[2] It gained popularity among the northeastern Pashtun tribes in the early twentieth century. It is also popular among the Tajiks of Panjshir and Badakhshan, and is also worn in Gilgit–Baltistan including Hunza, and some northern regions of Jammu and Kashmir. The patti is first sewn into the shape of a cylinder, about a foot or more long. One end of the cylinder is capped with a round piece of the same material, slightly wider than the cylinder itself. The woolen cylinder is then inverted and fitted onto a round wooden block. The rim of the woolen cylinder is then rolled up to the top. The flat top protrudes a little over the rolled-up edge to give the cap a tiny brim. Otherwise, all Pakistani headwear, unlike Western hats, is brimless. This is because Muslims pray with their heads covered. A brimmed hat would interfere with the sajdah (act of prostration during prayers). The little brim of the pakol, however, presents no such problem. In Chitral, and Gilgit-Baltistan, the white color pakol is more popular and is sometimes worn with a peacock plume stuck in the folds, like a badge, on the front or the side of the cap. The deep blue and green of the peacock feather, set against the white of the cap, is quite eye catching. Because of the woolen material, the pakol is basically a cold weather cap. In particularly chilly weather of Nuristan, the cap can be unrolled and pulled down over the ears, like a ski cap. Worn this way, it may look sloppy but is effective against the cold. The Afghan military leader Ahmad Shah Massoud is often shown in photographs wearing a pakol.
