The Medal Centre The medal centre are experienced and trusted buyers of British Campaign & Gallantry medals, Gold & Silver coins,All Militaria & small collectors items

I have a retail shop in the busy Northumbrian Market Town of Hexham where I am happy to see customers both old and new and our opening hours are as follows:-

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 9.00 am to 5.00 pm. Closed all day Thursdays and Sundays - although it is always worth a telephone call prior to travelling long distances as there is always the possibility that I may be away attending a fair or doing a house call. As well as running our busy retail shop I attend a number of major medal fairs. I can always be found at the monthly Medal Fair held at Outwood near Wakefield as well as the fairs at Stockport, Leeds (Pudsey) Stratford upon Avon & Bowburn / Durham

Many of you will know me from when I ran The Book and Medal Centre in Wakefield from 1995 to 2004 prior to my move to the NorthEast

Here at The Medal Centre in Hexham www.themedalcentre.co.uk it has been a very hectic week. Despite our best efforts we did not manage to complete our weekly update of new stock until 4pm today Friday 31-7-2026. However the good news is that in my opinion we have just managed to provide you with a very interesting update with lots of fresh to the market & interesting items of new stock in almost every section & category. My personal favorite this week is the WW2 & Korean war group to the Prisoner of war escaper to a member of the Gloucestershire Regiment who was captured in the regiments gallant stand at Imjin River in April 1951 & went onto be one of only three men from the regiment to be given safe passage back to his own lines by the North Korean forces.

Here at The Medal Centre in Hexham www.themedalcentre.co.uk it has been two weeks since we last updated our website with new stock. However the good news is that we have just completed a small but perfectly formed update this morning. This weeks offerings are mainly WW1 gallantry groups in interesting combinations that span service over multiple campaigns. Along with a few single Boer war medals. My personal favourites this week are the Military Cross group to the K.S.L.I & the DCM group to the South Staffordshire Regiment. However I could very easily be persuaded to purchase the RN good shooting medal group to the Royal Marine Artillery. We are already working on next weeks update which promises to have a bit of something for everyone.

This weeks offerings are many & varied but include a good selection of WW1 & WW2 Gallantry groups & singles along with a good selection of single Victorian campaign medals & a number of 1982 South Atlantic campaign medals.

He was a resident of Castleford West Yorkshire & initially enlisted in to the K.O.Y.L.I before transferring to the Army Cyclist Corps prior to being commissioned in 1917.
