Hi woody, i came across that one but assumed it can't be him because it didn't have the 6 digit number (203231) so this is the man then?

cheers Woody much appreciated

Yes, this will be the man.

It appears that he was a territorial.

All territorial numbers were changed to 6 digits in 1917 (March 1st).

I suspect the numbers you have are pre and post this changeover.

Cheers

If i'm reading this site properly :

http://www.tf.1914-1918.net/TF_renumbering_infantry.htm

then he would have been 4th Devonshire TF, serving in Egypt and possibly Mesopotamia.

Here's the link to the Devonshire's page on the Long, Long Trail.

Cheers gentlemen, the medals for W T Cordrey were found in a skip, not by me,

the BWM & VIC, the gent who found them was trying to trace any family of Cordrey o return them but had no luck, anyway we have worked out a deal and i'll be buying them from him, i beleive they were the only medals he was awarded.

So it's going to be a nice bit of research.

many thanks indeed pals

Jim
