OLD ROBIN HOOD Posted 5 January Share Posted 5 January Greetings (again) For a number of years I have owned a WW1 trio ( 1914-15 Star, War and Victory Medals ) to 13180 Pte Harold Wood 9th Notts & Derby Regt later Pte 6603 1st Connaught Rangers . He was born in 1895 and lived in Mansfield Woodhouse ,Notts . He was wounded on 3/9/1916. I have found the rolls for his War and Victory medals and his S.W.B. but nothing for his 1914-15 Star . Once again can anyone assist? ,I will be most grateful. Old Robin Hood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie962 Posted 5 January Share Posted 5 January (edited) You need to look for Woods as well as Wood. Did you also note he appears as Wounded 13180 Notts Derby H Wood, published 9/10/16? This suggest possible actual wounding early Sept 1916. Edit. Reread your op and see you already have this! Edited 5 January by charlie962 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
