Private Herbert Everett 49631 R.F 585083 Labour Corps

[wendyhawk]

I have 2 medals and a silver war badge belonging to Private Herbert Everett 49631 Royal Fusiliers, second reg.number 585083 Labour Corps ECLC. He was discharged in 1918 aged 28 awarded the Silver War Badge so that makes his birth about 1890, but he is quite elusive.

 

Help would be appreciated understanding the information on the envelope the medals were sent in. The medals are in good condition, the victory medal is stunning. I have the original envelope with it addressed to Mr Herbert Everett,  89 Norwich Street Cambridge. But I would like to know what is the relevance of the label which reads:-R Nottingham 56 No. F3016 and I note his medal document has Nottingham Labour Corps Records stamped on it. I was hoping that this would be an indication he was from that area.

Was he a Nottingham lad or did he come from the Cambrideshire area? Would appreciate enlightenment. Thank you.

The label with the R 3016 on was the old Registered mail sticker , obviously posted from Nottingham.

The label R Nottingham 56 No. F3016 has no significance; this is just the registered envelope reference number (the equivalent of today's tracking number).

Thank you Bigjohn and Harry for your quick replies. I had seen Herbert SJJ in some of the other records, but because his medal records just stated plain Herbert, I had discounted HerbertSJJ. Now it's all starting to make sense. Once again many thanks for your communications.
