paul wood Posted May 28, 2014 Share 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.

Odin Mk 3 Posted May 28, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
