From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, I'm Hsq7278.

I live in the UK, on the outskirts of London. I am a graduate in Political Studies from Leeds University.

I am a holder of the Vierdaagsekruis in gold:

My main Wikipedia involvement has been to update and amplify articles on orders and medals, particularly campaign medals, and related articles on military campaigns. I am a long standing member of the Orders and Medals Research Society.

I have also added a number of new biographies, as well as improving existing ones.
