Rant RAMC WW1 Honourable Discharge certificate

[John A Silkstone]

The RAMC WW1 Honourable Discharge certificate did not sell. The person selling it has contacted me and asked if she reduces the price could I get the cash? She wanted £600 but now she wants £250. I've told told her I would find out if people would donate towards the cost. The certificate when purchased would be presented to the RAMC museum.

Anyone willing to donate please contact me with a private message for more information.

Hi,

I'm sorry to say that all the RAMC chaps on the RAMC site are just not responding to the appeal, so I think I will give up on the job.

Im sorry to hear that silky, I may have been able to donate a small amount but i doubt that it would have achieved the aim.
Its a real shame, one thing confuses me though, if sothebys have valued it at the large amount suggested, why does she not let them sell it for her ?

And here it is, it is not a dis-coloured as it looks in the picture, the lighting was not perfect when I took the picture.
