It very clearly depicts the manner in which the veterans wore and mounted these very interesting stars and groups. I have not yet had time to have Cpl A. E. Fiske researched.

Graham Stewart Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 4255 Pte Albert Edward Fiske, Coldstream Gds. Beacame L/Cpl and later Lieutentant, Coldstream Gds. Becoming a "Lieut" within the Guards from the ranks during this period of time was highly unusual and so wonder what his background was. I believe all of the Guards original "Attestation" papers are still held by the Guards and weren't transferred to the National Archive, so you could get very lucky here with this group. Before our Guards chums leap up and down at his rank of "Private", may I remind them that the term "Guardsman" wasn't given until post-war.
