Thank you Diane Yes this is the man I was looking for, All I had to go on was the inscription on his medals basically 2nd LT J A Roberts on his War and Victory medals and J A Roberts 4/11/18 on his MC Dave
SEASIDER Posted 3 September , 2013 Posted 3 September , 2013 (edited) Lieut J.A.Roberts MC & War & Victory medals plus miniatures sold today at auction. Bretells / Newport....LOT 69 Edited 3 September , 2013 by TOWERBOY
Dawley Jockey Posted 3 September , 2013 Author Posted 3 September , 2013 My father had seen these medals in this auction House (Bretells) and had phoned me with the details as I had posted. I asked about J A Roberts because I was interested in finding out more i.e any connection with the KSLI or Shropshire. Do you know what they fetched, the guide price according to my Father (who lives in Newport) was £500 - £700 Dave
SEASIDER Posted 3 September , 2013 Posted 3 September , 2013 (edited) I think it was about £760 before premiums....I was outbid!!!!!! The engraving on the back of the MC did not look the norm!!!!! Edited 3 September , 2013 by TOWERBOY
