Admin Michelle Young Posted 28 June , 2016 Admin Share Posted 28 June , 2016 Waynes boss handed him a Victory Medal named to 15942 Pte H C Exton earlier today. He doesn't know anything about it, the man isn't a relative as far as he knows. Not on CWCG. Can anyone shed any light please? Many thanks in anticipation Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmicky57 Posted 28 June , 2016 Share Posted 28 June , 2016 15942 Herbert C Exton was in the Army Cyclist Corps then transferred to the Lincolnshire Yeomanry with the new service number 56603. I believe he won a gallantry award but it is on ancestry.com which I don’t subscribe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
