Wardog Posted 6 September , 2019 Share Posted 6 September , 2019 (edited) Hello. I would welcome ANY further info on this man. What I have been told is he enlisted 24th of November 1914 and was discharged upon the 28th of July 1917 due to gun shot wounds. His medals and wound badge sold recently on online. I have just bought a 1st Pattern TS badge from the same seller and think the badge and the medals may well be linked. Regards, Paul.

Wardog Posted 6 September , 2019 Author Share Posted 6 September , 2019 Thanks David, I should have mentioned a Gift Tin, and SWB certificate was also sold with the medal pair. Details of the man were not listed but readable on the pictured SWB certificate. Regards, Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardog Posted 7 September , 2019 Author Share Posted 7 September , 2019 Thank you sadbrewer. Can I confirm the Newspaper clipping is 1915- I wonder if it should be 1916. I take it there is no sign of pension record for this man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies...the paper was July 25th 1916....can't find a pension record so far. Edit...his elder brother John b1882 was with the 170th Tunnelling Company. Edit 2 ....found his pension record on Fold3...unfortunately I haven't a subscription. https://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=61588&h=815235&tid=&pid=&usePUB=true&_phsrc=ubi8737&_phstart=successSource Edited 7 September , 2019 by sadbrewer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardog Posted 10 September , 2019 Author Share Posted 10 September , 2019 Thank you all for your help so far- I now have access to the UK WWI Pension Ledger and Index Card- Problem caused by middle name being listed as Fenster and not Fewster. I cannot seem to find an obvious hit for him in British Army WWI Pension Records 1914-1920. I don't expect documents to be posted on here but if anyone more adept at online research can give me links to ANY records online it will be much appreciated. Regards, Paul.

Admin DavidOwen Posted 10 September , 2019 Admin Share Posted 10 September , 2019 I can add that according to the 1911 Census he was a Coal Miner - Stoneman.FMP link 1920 his address was 33 Raglan Place Burnopfield (and Olive Annie is also on the Electoral roll) FMP link by 1931 they had moved to 21 Hazel Grove Burnopfield link The 1939 Register has him as still a Colliery Worker - can't read the middle word so FMP image below - they transcribed it as Dental!!) He died in 1968 aged 83 FMP That is about all I have been able to dig up so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
