Any Bedfordshire buffs out there?

I am trying to find out about this man, a 1914-15 Star has been brought to me with the details of a No.8124 Pte. (what looks like) S.E. Seaman Bedf. R.

Am I missing something or does he not exsist, I cannot even find his MIC.

Any details on this chap would be most welcome.

Your thoughts on this one, please.

Cheers,

Dick

Dick,

I had a look and could find nothing as well. Could you post a photo of the naming on the reverse of the medal.

Cheers Andy.

Hi Dick

Looks as if it`s 8124 Albert S Simants.Bedfordshire Reg.K.I.A. Only thing is he had 14 star.?

Chaps,

Will have a go at the photography bit later.

The lettering looks to me quite small and finer than the other medals I have. It is similar to one medal I have which on the MIC is listed as a 1940 re-issue, after the original(s) was/were lost.

I forgot to mention that the 15 Star came with a WW2 issue box with enveloped 1939-45 Star, France & Germany Star, Defence Medal, & War Medal with the issue list. All addressed to Mr.F.G. Seaman 41 Tomlinson Avenue, Scunthorpe, Lincs.

I have now seen that the initials are F.G. Seaman on the 1915 Star, found my magnifying glass.........at last!!!!
