• Notes:
  Provenance: This is one of 24 lots which represent the life-long collection of fire brigade medals of the late Neil Cameron (19/11/1946 - 18/2/2011). Neil came from a family of passionate and dedicated firemen. His father was Chief of the Thames Brigade for many years and both his father and uncle were holders of the Gold Star Award. Neil joined the Fire Service in Papatoetoe in 1966 and served there until 1974 as Station keeper. He then moved back to Thames and after some years was able to rejoin the Fire Service with the Thames Brigade in 1992. Neil started collecting Fire Service memorabilia from an early age and in later years was a passionate collector as can be seen from this collection. The balance of Neil’s fire brigade memorabilia (hoses, jackets, extinguishers, badges, couplings etc.) will be sold in Cordy’s collectable auction on Monday 25th June.
