alastaircox Posted 15 January , 2016 Share Posted 15 January , 2016 I purchased these today, a complete punt on eBay. Plaque, scroll and medal award papers to S/14609 Rifleman Walter Arthur Snow, 1st Battalion Rifle Brigade and a VM and Defence medal to his brother Arthur Snow 493416 1/13th London (Kensington) and later 69316 KRRC. I am thrilled at my purchase but so much is missing. So, if you have a happen to have a pair to WA Snow or a BWM to AW Snow in your collections, please let me know?

Jerry B Posted 15 January , 2016 Share Posted 15 January , 2016 There is a good chance the medals were divided up between family members or else lost. Is that a first day of the Somme KIA, so pricey if you can find them. A nice pick up and good luck finding the missing medals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alastaircox Posted 15 January , 2016 Author Share Posted 15 January , 2016 Yes Jerry, the 1st Battalion were at the Somme. Craig, I am just looking at the Soldier's Effects. Is your 12 months or less deduction based on the monetary award? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your 12 months or less deduction based on the monetary award? It is - £3 net (£5 gross) was paid for 12 months or less qualifying service. If you want more on the gratuity then take a look at my website - https://wargratuity.wordpress.com/- and it should help. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
