In high seas or in low seas - The weather is finally turning, the winds are picking up and the sea is changing too.

Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival - whilst rummaging around in a box of trinkets I came across what I had always believed to be my Grandfather's Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes (RAOB) medals. Oddly in all the years I've had these I had never taken them out of their boxes and turned them over. If I had of done then I would of seen the names and dates on the reverse side. One of them is dated 1935 and is indeed my Granddad's, but the other one (above) is dated 1891 and belonged to a family member that I do not know, possibly an uncle of my Granddad.
