20.01.2022 Hi everyone, it's Sheree here (aka Mrs Mick for those who don't know). I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all our new members and to let you know that we are a small family business that trades in medals and militaria, specialising in Australian and Commonwealth Campaign Service Medals. Mick is the 'man in the know' and I look after the website and Facebook side of things. Although saying this, I make sure Mick receives every message that is written and will... get him to respond to all the technical stuff. We both have 'normal jobs' as well...so if we don't respond immediately, this will be why. ;-) And I thought I would also just remind everyone that what we show on our Facebook page is just a snippet of the items that we have available for sale. The full list is on our website (which gets updated regularly) and can be found here: www.micksmedals.com.au Have a great day. Sheree.
