3618 Pte John Picksley 1/5th KIA 13/10/1915 Hohenzollern Redoubt

 

He was my great grand uncle. I've been trying to track down what happened to his medals and documentation and/or plaque. 

I've only tracked down one of his posthumously awarded medals to date (owner not willing to sell but he did photograph it for me)

Would love to know what you have and if you would show me? I have a photo of him so happy to trade photo's if nothing else is possible. 

Tried to dm but it wouldn't let me. As I'm new to the forum maybe I'm doing something wrong....?

TIA

Ah brilliant, I did wonder if that might be the reason.  Thank you 😊

Hi Geminidragonfly

For my sins I try to keep a listing of all medals owned by members of the Forum that wish them to published, I have put a link below of the last published list, which was produced around the time Covid hit, it then went quiet for a while but I’m in the process of updating and checking all new entries before I attempt to get a new display.

John

*A quick check shows a member has one of your ggu medals

Thanks @Geminidragonfly and @Dave66, after a period of little activity, it looks as though there is a resurgence of medal acquisitions:thumbsup:

John

My uncle let me have my gg's medal. I also have a dog tag penny belonging to another GG, are these included in your list or not?

my latest, I suspect I have a lot more unlisted.

Albert Jackson  5624 / 76150 Liverpool Regt   BWM/Vic pair

 

regarding listing, I know how hard it is, I do the memorial plaque wanted register on the BMF. I update monthly then get requests straightaway for a week then it goes quiet again.
