Lookout Newspaper | November 10, 2008, Vol 53, No 45 | Decorated sailor’s medals on the block he awards of Commander Edward Theodore (Ted) Simmons, R.C.N.V.R. "the first Canadian to win a double honour for killing subs" and subject of the motion picture "Corvette K-225" directed by Howard Hawks and starring Randolph Scott. WALLIS & WALLIS
Such a shame The whole saga, and the part played by the seller and the auction house, seems very unfair. Especially as the final selling price was lower than both the seller and auction house was suggesting to Mr Simmons. CTV.ca | Son loses bid to repatriate father's naval medals
This is heartbreaking isn't it ?? ...... I feel embarrassed for the auction house to be honest !! and the half sister ..... it doesn't matter about the family dynamics .... the medals were very important to him ..... sounds to me like a vengence thing .... and the auction house went along with it ! .... I hope the buyer comes up trumps !! ( though he was piggy in the middle - poor thing !! ) What a shame !
