H Fitchford

[wulsten]

Have been trying to research this soldier and have his mic details

Medal card of Fitchford, H

Corps Regiment No Rank

Royal Fusiliers G/12532 Private

Military Foot Police P5752 Private

cannot even find his first name served with the 9th batt RF

Date 1914-1920

also his medal roll entries give no deatails of name, drawn a blank on everthing else including the RMP museum.

Any help greatly appreciated, also is the name Fitchford native to Stoke on trent as it seems very isolated to the area.

Just to add wounded at Loos with the 9th Batt RF

Given the date of your original posting, here's a copy of the colour MIC (just in case )

There's nothing on the back, so just the front posted.

As a side note - there is only one H Fitchford on the 1901 census from Staffs.......... Could this be him?
