greatbeanbags Posted 5 January , 2019 Share Posted 5 January , 2019 (edited) Hoping a forum member, who might be a collector, might have missing Great War medals & Victory medals awarded to: 33265 Cpl. William Mabbutt, Leicestershire Regiment 8th Bn. killed 02 Oct 1917 - remembered with honour Hooge Crater Cemetery 75901 Pte. Bert Mabbutt, Royal Fusiliers 9th Bn. killed age 19 0n 21 Sept 1918 at Epehy Both men were Northampton boys & related to my grandfather on my fathers side of the family so would relish the opportunity to have them returned. I have a Death Plaque for William Mabbutt but not for Bert Mabbutt, if that should be out there somewhere! Perhaps? Still seeking a Death Plaque for my great uncle,related to my grandfather on my mother’s side of the family. Able Seaman R/609, Sydney Rodney Cyril Vince, Anson Bn. RNVR, RN, to accompany his medals in my possession. Hopefully? Also Death Plaque & medals for another Vince relative. 551929 L.Cpl. Jo Vince, London Regiment (Queen's Westminster Rifles) 1st/16th Bn's. killed age 31 on 14 April 1917 - remembered with honour Arras memorial Thanks in anticipation.

The Inspector Posted 5 January , 2019 Share Posted 5 January , 2019 (edited) Hi Clive, If you search on Ancestry for the MIC's you can leave a comment in the "Write a comment" box top right.The message will be displayed whenever the individual soldier is searched and your user name is displayed so you can be contacted. It worked for me, a message was left by a collector and I contacted him and did a medal swop. Eg. Search T.Ormshaw,15979, Manchester Regt, Regards Barry Edited 5 January , 2019 by The Inspector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatbeanbags Posted 5 January , 2019 Author Share Posted 5 January , 2019 Thanks for this advice Barry....will give what you suggest a go. Don’t subscribe to Ancestry myself but have used free at our local library....it’s good to go there to try & stop a wonderful town venue being closed & relocated to an outlying school with little practical access even though nearer my home!
