cjb4671 Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Hi, just purchased a ww1 pair comprising of bwm and victory medal. both are engraved to the edge LIEUT.F.W. FIDGEON....but there is no service number or regiment...I also have a life members pass dated 1906 to the National Rifle Association named to Fredrick W . Fidgeon Esq. Any advice on why there is no service number or regiment will be gratefully recieved.. I must also add that these came from a house clearance. Will post some photo's tommorow..
Paul R Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Welcome to the forum. I look forward to seeing some pics.
Pylon1357 Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 These medals are named correctly in that Officers did not have a Service, or Regimental number. Also for some reason, the Officers medals are not impressed with their Regiment or Corps
Brian Wolfe Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 I just picked up a pair also to a Lieut. and like yours and others they have no number or regimental notation. Not to worry, if indeed you are, as this is correct. Looking forward to seeing them. Regards Brian
paddywhack Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Having trouble posting from my phone but his medal index card states he was in the machine gun corps and entited to a pair only!nice unit to a officer!
paddywhack Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Also a few entries in the london gazette mainly to do with his rank!
cjb4671 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 Hi thanks for the info..Where can I get a copy of his MIC? and as promised here are the photos..I was wondering as to value..I found a pair to a lieutenant in MGC online for £125..retail price and a pair to a private in MGC sold on ebay today for £71+5 p&p...I did not pay anywhere near this much....
cjb4671 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 Also a few entries in the london gazette mainly to do with his rank! Couldnt find mention of the Machine Gun Corps
