keithmroberts Posted 15 May , 2011 Share Posted 15 May , 2011 For those interested a seller has just listed a bunch of medals relating to several of the 16th and 18th West Yorks, plus one from the 1/4th on Ebay UK. I don't collect medals , but was relieved to see than none of them related to the men I have been researching, or I might have had to make a substantial punt.

sutton-in-craven Posted 15 May , 2011 Share Posted 15 May , 2011 Ah, well spotted Keith, these medals are probably going to fetch a premium not least because they are from the 16th & 18th Pals battalions, but also because there are a few KIA from the 1st Day of the Somme. I always regret selling a pair + Death Plaque I had several years ago to 16-725 Pte Willie Parker from Clayton, Bradford who was also KIA on 1st July 1916.

ph0ebus Posted 1 July , 2011 Share Posted 1 July , 2011 There is a story in the Telegraph & Argus today about a rare photo of the 18th Batallion that has surfaced, where the owner is seeking help in identifying the soldiers in it...

keithmroberts Posted 1 July , 2011 Author Share Posted 1 July , 2011 Thanks for posting this. I'm due back in Bradford for a couple of weeks shortly to immerse myself in the local Archives so in the meantime I'll certainly try to make contact and see if the chap will post a copy here, or let me make a copy that I can post. . I have a poor copy somewhere of a platoon photo of one of the 16th platoons that actually appeared in that paper some years ago. i could of course be pure co-incidence.
