Amongst the letters etc my wife has from her great uncle who died at Passchendaele we also have a WW1 Victory medal for

Private S Thompson

MGC 85799

The Medal Roll index shows him as Sidney Thompson.

I'm trying to find out more about Sidney and perhaps why his medal was with my wifes great uncle's letters & Death Plaque.

It appears that he survived WW1.

Plus any info on his connection/action with the MGC

Any assistance please?

Was your wife's Great Uncle married? Perhaps it was his wife's brother or she remarried and it was her new husband's, just a couple of idle thoughts.........

What was your wife's Great Uncle's name?
