Cracking set of medals.I was down in Welly B a few years ago and they had 7 VC'S on display,an unbelievable sight.And the curry in the SGT'S mess was superb followed by many beers.I stayed at Chelsea barracks which at the time was being run down,it was sad to see the old barracks in such a state,many happy memories of Chelsea.

Awards of Edward Dwyer, V.C., 1st Battalion, East Surrey Regiment

 

A chap I am researching is on your list there Igor, William REEVES, fascinating chap long time soldier who was awarded the DCM and MM for actions in the Great War. I'm looking for a photo to go with his bio.  

[Coldstreamer]

youd do better to start a new thread as your question will most likely get missed on the end here

 

have you tried newspapers of the time ? check where he lived and also where his parents lived
