Dear Listers My wife, Goretti, while going through an old box of memento has come across a heavy medal which has the inscription 'The Bell Medal' with an angel on a pedestal with four miniature riflemen facing the cardinal points of the compass at the base. On the reverse side are inscribed the words 'presented by the Society of Miniature Rifle Clubs' within a halo of olive-leaves. Could any luster throw some light on this medal and put a date to it. My wife is not sure it it belonged to her father who was in the British-India Army or grandfather. Many thanks, Michael
