In this episode of Paint & Page Gary from Calais talks about what medals to look for, what to pay and where to buy from. He also talks about French attention to detail, French bakers in Berlin and reckonable service, and how bureaucracy helps to fill in the gaps and add provenance to a wears medals.

From ambulance driving to water skiing Col Audrey Smith (Retd) talks about her 35 years of service in the British Army, starting at East Midlands Universities OTC in 1957 before being commissioned into the Women's Royal Army Corps (https://wracassociation.org/) and leaving as a full Colonel in the Adjutant Generals Corps. 

This episode of Paint & Paint starts, rather aptly with a couple of book reviews from Pen & Swords flight Craft series, followed by the descent down the Rabbit Hole that is weathering and detailing. Caution: You may get ideas from this episode.
