paul wood Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I have just obtained two met medals 1897 to PC AE Gent M Division (Southwark) and a 1911 to PC A Gent. Are they one of the same or father and son. Any info about him/them would be gratefully received.All the best,Paul
Odin Mk 3 Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Paul They are the same man - Albert (Edward) Gent who joined the Met 1 Aug 1892 with the Warrant Number 77942 and became a PC in M Division (Southwark). He was pensioned 30 Dec 1918 and was still serving as a PC in M Division when he retired. His service sheet is attached below. He was a Brewer's Drayman before joining the Police. Unfortunately he is also entitled to a 1902 Coronation Medal (PC M Div) which appears to be missing
paul wood Posted May 29, 2014 Author Posted May 29, 2014 Odin,Thank you so much for the information. I'll have to see if I can keep an eye open for his 1902 Medal.Paul
