Mervyn Mitton Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_07_2014/post-6209-0-80416300-1404470643.jpgclick I recently acquired this 1st WW Pair to a Gunner. His details are clearly on the original box. I liked that he had the box and the original envelope. However, he never mounted them - the original ribbon is present - and never wore them. I think this was quite a common re-action from men who had faced the reality of a bitter War . THIS WILL BE ONE OF THE PRIZES IN THE SEPT/OCT 4TH GMIC PHOTO COMPETITION Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pylon1357 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Thanks for sharing this pair. I just received a pair with the original box and wondered how he received his medals as there was no address on the box, just his pertinent details as your boxes marked. Now I see the box was in a mailing envelope. Question now answered thanks to this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
