Later 31300 Border Regiment. He survived the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardenerbill Posted 15 February , 2020 Author Share Posted 15 February , 2020 I decided to resist, but if anyone else is interested the medals can be found at Antiques Manchester opposite Old Mill Antiques, Wrigley Head, off Oldham Road, Hollinwood, Manchester. Could be a local lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaz Posted 16 February , 2020 Share Posted 16 February , 2020 Mark, problem is you need his serial number, if you get it it may be that he was transferred later , his MIC will confirm. his medals would have been issued on his initial regiment and he was killed or wounded later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhat academic now as I decided against buying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
