Did not a member of the Beck family command the Sandringham Company in Gallipoli. TV programme on the subject?

Don't wish to be a spoil sport but it really doesn't seem that special.

I think it is special! Thanks to both Paul and Martin I enjoyed looking at the auction! The bidding was last at a 175 quid!
