Leuchtturm Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Hi Gents, I wasn´t online for a long time, but I´ve received new British medals. 4 of them are marked is this from 1 Person, or father and son? The number on the WW1 Medals: J.62019 H.G. Kimber ORD. R.N. The number on the later medals: 756372 S.SGT. H.G. Kimber R.A. I hope someone can help me. I´ll be very happy. Thanks for reading, best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leuchtturm Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) Hi, that´s really great! Many thanks! Best Chris Edited June 15, 2017 by Leuchtturm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Clearly a military family, as neither was a 'hostilities only' enlistment. Ancestry.com can likely provide some further information, as Kimber is not so common a name as to be unsearchable, with birth year and city or origin known. Nice grouping!
