pukkolla Posted 9 October , 2008 Share Posted 9 October , 2008 Hi, Can anyone provide any details regarding a medal group and plaque that I have in my possession. The group consists of a medal trio awarded to 3145 Pte. J.A.Fox West Riding Rgt. A medal pair awarded to 265809 Pte. L.W.Fox West Riding Rgt. And a Death Plaque to Percy Fox. If anyone can provide details of Medal Index Cards for these three individuals and also if anyone can confirm the relationship between the three it will be appreciated. Many thanks, Pete.

mmm45 Posted 9 October , 2008 Share Posted 9 October , 2008 Joseph Arthur was in 1/6th West Ridings Discharged in 1916 with sickness with a SWB He was entitled to a 15 trio. May be worth checking out CPGW site they have original nominals for 1/6th 2/6th WRR. Page 35 and 41( they are both on there ) JA With 1/6th LW with 2/6th. Sickness may tie in with early death in 1925? Ady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Thompson Posted 9 October , 2008 Share Posted 9 October , 2008 Well done there Ady, strange how they moved out from Batley to Menston, or were they in High Royds at Menston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pickupfam1 Posted 6 April , 2016 Share Posted 6 April , 2016 Hello - I KNOW THIS IS AN OLD POST BUT THIS FAMILY IS PART OF THE CRABTREE FAMILY. MARY ELIZABETH CRABTREE IS MY GT GT AUNT - HER FATHER WILLIAM HENRY CRABTREE IS MY GT GT GT GRANDFATHER. MARY MARRIED ARTHUR LAWRENCE SMITH - THEY BOTH WORKED AT MENSTON ASYLUM. THEY HAD TWO CHILDREN LUCY SMITH 1895 AND NORMAN SMITH 1897 - NORMAN WAS KIA IN 1915 AGE 18. I HAVE PLACED A MEMORIAL FOR HIM ON THE WW1 SITE. THE FOX FAMILY WERE THROUGH ARTHUR LAWRENCE SMITH'S FAMILY - HIS SISTER MARRIED GEORGE FREDERICK FOX AND THEY HAD 3 SONS THE ELDER WAS JOSEPH ARTHUR FOX AND IN THE 1891 CENSUS JOSEPH WAS LIVING WITH HIS GRANDFATEHR ABRAHAM SMITH IN BATLEY YORKSHIRE. I WOULD BE SO GRATEFUL FOR ANY MORE INFORMATION ON THESE BOYS. IT SEEMS THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS REMEMBERED NORMAN SMITH. I CANNOT FIND ANY MARRIAGE FOR HIS SISTER LUCY. HOWEVER AS THESE LADS WERE COUSINS, IF YOU HAVE A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE MEDALS OR PHOTORAPH OF ANY OF THE FOX LADS, PLEASE MAY I HAVE A COPY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND HELP NADINE CRABTREE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
