Guest nhuitson Posted 30 July , 2005 Share Posted 30 July , 2005 Hallo.I am researching on behalf of my uncle.Any help would be appreciated.His father was called William Homer and he served in the Worcestershire Regiment.He enlisted in Halesowen on 6th May 1914,and was discharged on 6th March 1919.I have a copy of his discharge certificate which states that he was awarded the 1914-15 star,British War,and Victory medals,plus "Chevrons,three blue"-I am not sure what that bit means?He also had one wound stripe.I don't really know any more-so many people wouldn't talk about what they did,but if anyone is able to help,Iwould be very grateful, Nicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
