Chrisvo Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) I purchased these medals and some other history related to him off our local auction site. He was in the Royal Engineers Corps. Would be interested if anyone knows more. However, included in this lot was his razor and a few postcards to his children. All kept very well. His full rank and numbers are : 264367 SPR J.H. Dickinson. R.E. Trying to upload some pictures... Edited February 26, 2016 by Chrisvo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Very nice! I'm a little surprised he didn't keep any cap badges as well. I especially like the old fashoined razor. And I mean, old fashioned for WWI, I think, with the shorter blade, which I associate with the 19th century. With his number on both sidrs and the case - very practical.

Chrisvo Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) I can try but I can't promise anything, got a normal day to day camera that isn't great a focusing on intricate detail. Edit: Nevermind, I can post the pictures from the auction... Edited February 28, 2016 by Chrisvo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 James H Dickinson also served in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers with the number 52230 and was only entitled to a pair, so you have his full entitlement. That's all I could find but it's a great little lot. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just nice to pick up a piece of history every now and again. I might even try shaving with his razor at some point. It's still sharp enough to remove some arm hair and has no chips so just needs a clean, hone and strop. 15 hours ago, Tony said: James H Dickinson also served in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers with the number 52230 and was only entitled to a pair, so you have his full entitlement.
