Mervyn Mitton Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 A lovely set and of a different background to the usual ones we see. Anything RIC is rare and collectable - I've just sold an original 1860's issue RIC carbine and bayonet - was pleased with the price. Best wishes Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stafford Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I ask for help locating records for this my Great Great Grandfather's George V ISM. His name was Charles Stafford. I don't know much about him but I think he was an Electrical Engineer, his middle name might be Walter and he was from the Midlands of the United Kingdom possibly Dudley.

Ralph Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) The only award of an ISM to that name for the relevant period of issue is Charles Stafford, Postman.

Alan Stafford Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Thanks, how might I check later periods? Or does the search work for all George V ISM medals. I can't quite see how he would have been in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 The Gv Star shaped medal was awarded till 1920;after that it became circular so the period to check runs from around 1909 to 1921 - a relatively short time. The award in 1917 would normally indicate a birth year of around 1857 - normal retirement being at 60 and the medal was awarded then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stafford Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Fine, that must be him. Thank you. I know that my Great grandfather Stanley Walter Stafford moved to London when he was 17 but i didn't realise that the whole family did as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
