mts Posted 11 May , 2008 Share Posted 11 May , 2008 Hi here's his CWGC entry Name: JOLLEY Initials: R J Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Second Lieutenant Regiment/Service: Cheshire Regiment Unit Text: 1st Bn. Date of Death: 22/08/1918 Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead Grave/Memorial Reference: IV. B. 21. Cemetery: BAGNEUX BRITISH CEMETERY, GEZAINCOURT I'm not an expert but I don't think 3 years is late to get his medals and they could have been named all the same on request I think, someone will tell you Mel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
