Medals Instructions

We are now ready to start collecting as many photographs and medal counts as we can to prepare an album, to meet the requirements of the Consortium medal campaign.

This idea originated with an offer by John Crowley to present his own medals at an event to be organised in London but although his suggestion was praised, too many members were reluctant to part with their medals. Alternative suggestions have been discussed and eventually it was agreed that there would be a presentation to an HRH, of an album of suitable photos. We would have Champollion organise this event if at all possible. It has become a key item in our strategy to gain publicity and for the hearts and minds of the general public especially in the UK.

The example photo + words of Petty Officer Jim Seager OAM, at Medal Campaign meets our needs. It has been passed by John Markham who agrees it as suitable and a collection of these will be used to prepare the brochures and an album by a company here in Australia called Pagination Design Services Pty Ltd, run by Stephen Davey. This company has been identified as one which has the necessary expertise help us in this project.

When you have the photographs and words. i.e medals won and campaigns served, as well as your views on the freezing of your pension please;

1. send them electronically to Stephen Davey of Pagination smd@pagination.com.au. He asks if they might send the photos separately from the words, which will enable him to work more easily to prepare a better quality presentation.

2. Alternatively if members cannot send their photos electronically I am prepared to receive them at my home, then I can scan copy them with the words to on-send them to Stephen Davey. My home address is 3 Albatross Circuit, Woronora Heights NSW 2233 Australia.

3. Or better still, you may send the photos etc by snail mail to Stephen Davey with necessary written details to; Pagination Design Services Pty Ltd, PO Box 7160, Geelong West 3218, Victoria, Australia.
