Mark Abbott Posted 22 February , 2004 Share Posted 22 February , 2004 I have the MM and trio awarded to 48464 Spr J Woods of the above unit. The group came from the family together with a silver matchbox cover which is engraved ; "Ginchy Sept 9th" Has anyone seen another? Why/who paid for them?

Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 22 February , 2004 Share Posted 22 February , 2004 Mark, It looks like a private aquisition possibly commemorating the date and place where he won his MM. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Abbott Posted 25 February , 2004 Author Share Posted 25 February , 2004 The MM was awarded in 1918. I understand that the 16th Division was involved in the attack on Ginchy on the 9th September 1916. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
