Popular Post John B Posted November 9, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) Another discovery in my search. I have made about 5 medal boxes in total, all slightly different. This one depicts a Light horseman on the front, the Rising sun badge on top and a famous photo of Australian troops taken on the Western front in WW1 on the rear. On other boxes I have changed the horse for a donkey in recognition of one of our most famous soldiers from Gallipoli, "Simpson and his Donkey"https://www.awm.gov.au/articles/encyclopedia/simpson Edited November 10, 2018 by John B typo munzieb, Scrappile, frankorona and 10 others 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I do all the designing myself. It can be a lot of fun, but can also be frustrating, trying to find the right picture, the placement of it etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
