Medals Going Home with Adam Simpson-York

16/02/2026

Not how I expected my Monday evening to go!

Stitches and glue in 3 different places.

Some people are already suggesting I might be the next Harry Potter after this. ⚡

Can you guess what hit me?

Go on... I could do with a laugh 😑🤣

One of my river Orwell beachcombing finds!

Any idea what it's from?

PLEASE SHARE THIS POST 🙏

British War Medals are being increasingly scrapped in 2026 due to high silver prices, making the metal content more valuable than the collectible value. Many are now being melted down, prompting campaigns to rescue them.

The British War Medal was awarded to almost all personnel who served overseas, making it the most common WW1 campaign medal with those who were awarded it enduring foreign service, risking life in combat, or, for many, dying on active service.

PLEASE DON'T SCRAP THEM, and if you can save those which are going to be scrapped. It's literally like throwing history down the drain!

I just snapped up this victory medal for a grand total of £17!

Can't wait to show you what this chap looks like 😉

If you wish to sponsor this rehoming then you can do so by using the link in the comments and buying me a coffee. Every little helps 🙂

Well it's finally come round again. Mrs Medals is going head first into the north sea to raise money for St Elizabeth Hospice.

It was cancelled at Christmas and now she can't think of a better way to spend her valentine's day morning 😍 it's looking like a good turnout, there's a few great costumes appearing already!

She takes the plunge at 10:30am.

It's still possible to donate and the link is in the comments! Thanks everyone 🙂 Please give this post a share. Happy valentine's day everyone!

This just popped up in my memories on my personal profile from a few years ago.

It was some homework that my son was sent home with.

I've still got no idea what's going on or what he was meant to do 🤣
