WOW!!!!!!.........Charles Horner again. How come so much of his stuff ended up out here in NZ???
He was obviously extremely popular in the 20's/30's and very prolific with his work...........not at all surprising, with such variance of subject and uncompromising quality.

yes there has been a number of medals, what was I thinking. The one I loved was the life saving medal that was a bit "gay" looking i.e. "weird" looking, (doesn't gay mean weird. haha.)
