Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 07/12/2007 11:56 pm G'day, regarding Snooba's post of 29 June, the bottom pic shown there: the colours shown behind the 1995 50-cent coin are the colours of the ribbon which was attached to the Campaign Star, or medal, awarded to British Empire personnel, including Australians, for service in the Pacific theatre of WW2. The coin and stamp both show an Australian surgeon, Sir Edward "Weary" DUNLOP (1907~1993), a veteran of the Greek & African Campaigns, who was later captured on Java, and spent part of his captivity on the Thai-Burma railway.

The Churchill crown could be said to be a WW2 commenmorative as he did not do anything else really. ..." Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, (1874~1965) served as a Member of Parliament from 1900 to 1959, and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955; a prolific author, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953.

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 07/13/2007 12:14 am I actually have the Churchill Crown. Never really thought it to be a WWII Commemorative but rather Commemorating him. I have some Commemorative Ike coins so I suppose Churchill could fit into the same category. Report this Post to the Staff
