littlemiss Posted 30 July , 2014 Share Posted 30 July , 2014 Hi everyone, I recently began researching my family's history after coming across multiple WW1/WW2 medals and have had amazing success (so far)! However, my grandad (on the other side) has given me 2 WW1 medals he acquired in the 50's/60's that I cannot find any information about - they are fairly worn down and look in awful condition compared to the others I have that I know to be real - on top of that, I am struggling with the service numbers showing up on any of the searches. If anyone is willing to do a look-up, or point me in the right direction I would be truly grateful - I'd love to be able to do these medals justice if they are real and find who they rightfully belong to. 032910 PTE. H.R (or H. B ) Buckley., A.O.C 96855 SJT. W.F Taylor. R.A.M.C For Taylor, I did find a hit using his number on 'findmypast' but there was no rank and I wasn't confident it is him If anyone can help I would be over the moon!

R.A.M.C Lex-- I just searched on Ancestry and found Medal Index Cards for Private Herbert B Buckley, AOC and Sgt. William F. Taylor, RAMC. Here are the roll and page numbers for their Medal Roll entries, of which you can order copies from the National Archives: Buckley: Roll RAOC/101 B2, page 138 (not positive about the 1, it's faint) Taylor: Roll RAMC/101 B37, page 2625 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlemiss Posted 30 July , 2014 Author Share Posted 30 July , 2014 That was absolutely phenomenal! Thankyou both for being so quick and informative! - I feel a bit silly now for troubling you! I'm so pleased I don't have to tell grandad he's been treasuring fake medals for all these years Lex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
