Surgeon Major General Sir John By Cole Reade, KCB


Just finished an interesting framing project about Surgeon Major General Sir John By Cole Reade, KCB.  (What does KCB mean, you aks?  Go to:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Bath )

Our client had a photograph of Sir Reade (which we had lovingly reproduced by Janice of LUX), 7 medals dating from the late 1800's and early 1900's, and a plaque.

Our new acquaintance, Mr. Louis Grimshaw of Kingston, http://www.grimshaw-military.on.ca/) cleaned up the medals beautifully and "Court Mounted" them (which he tells us is most likely how Sir Reade wore them when in attendance in Queen Victoria's Court. (http://goarticles.com/article/Court-Mounting-and-Swing-Mounting-Medals/2083240/).

So here is the finished product!
