azyeoman Posted yesterday at 05:21 Posted yesterday at 05:21 I recently acquired a nice medal group consisting of the following: QSA: CC, OFS, TR – 74907 GNR. S. BURK, R.H.A. KSA: SA01, SA02 – 74907 GNR. S. BURK, R.H.A. 1897 Jubilee (Met) – P.C. S. Burk. X DIVn 1911 Coronation (Met) – P.C. S. Burk. I have found out a considerable amount regarding his QSA & KSA and have also learned that his name is Samuel Burk and that he was a Police Constable in the Acton Division, which I believe is X Division from what is on his 1897 Jubilee Medal. I don't have any details as to his badge number etc for him as a PC nor any copies of the rolls definitively mentioning him as being awarded the '97 Jubilee and the '11 Coronations medals (Metropolitan Police issues). I'm certain he was, but like to have copies of the pages to go along with the file that I build for each medal recipient. Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated. I also know where he is buried, but unfortunately there isn't a photo of his headstone on Find A Grave. I've added three attachements regarding Pte/PC Samual Burk as they are interesting. There's also a photo of his group, which badly needs cleaning as I'm sure he'd never have worn them looking like they presently do. Thanks in advance and all the best. 1
