Old Owl Posted 4 January , 2012 Share Posted 4 January , 2012 Hi Rene, J.A.S.Burges attended Glasgow University where he is included on their Roll of Honour, unfortunately there is no photo of him and very few details. He attained the degree of MB in 1901. Hope this helps, Robert PS He would have been awarded the British War Medal and Victory Medal, these should have the details: Lieut.J.A.S..BURGES, impressed upon their rims.
