Pte. Frederick Harman MM, 1346, 17 London Regiment & 650450 Cpl. Labour Corp

It is heart-breaking to see the very poor condition of his MM which is currently for sale on ebay!

He entered France on 9 March 1915, was also awarded the trio and a silver war badge. Discharged 25 March 1919.

MM in London Gazette 29854 of 9 December 1916. Schedule no. 52016. Award probably for October 1916 - late Somme award.
