This is my Mother-in-Laws great uncle. She is not a happy bunny that the family are selling the VC and I have to agree with her. There were reports in virtually all the national papers the other day and according to my Mother-in-Law the newspapers got one fact slightly wrong. Apparently, Private God...

Looks like a cracking read, thanks for sharing.

Feels like this campaign is already gaining some momentum, fingers crossed.

Have already signed it, our club website has all the links on it.

Hopefully ALL clubs will follow suit.

I don't think that Mick Aston's views on metal detecting should detract from his archaeological expertise. After all, Time Team is not a metal detecting programme.
