A DLI man - Private Seymour

[stephen p nunn]

I was fortunate yesterday to pick up a Victory Medal to a DLI man:

Private Alfred C. Seymour. His service number on the medal is engraved as 9388.

I have located his medal card which indicates entitlement to the pair (I suppose his BWM is now long gone?) and he had a second DLI service number - 200967.

Can't find any service or pension records for him.

Any experts out there able to tell me anything about him (perhaps based on the DLI numbers?)>

Many thanks all.

Only a passing comment on BWMs - I did read somewhere that,as they were silver,a fair few were sold for re-processing, for money to help pay their way in the "land fit for heroes" !

Thanks Sotonmate - yes, me too. It has been debated in other threads. People still seem to hold strong views about that (both ways!).

Regards.

It wasn't my intention to post the remark in order for any discussion to be re-ignited here though,merely a comment on why some pairs/Trios will never be re-united.

Happy Easter !
