Trios

[Tony]

Hello,

Here are 2 of my trios, the first set is the 1914 star trio which was awarded to SS-1220 Pte T. E. Peacock ASC (on Star) and SS-1220 Sjt. T. E. Peacock on the BWM and Victory medals.

The SS- prefix denotes he was an ASC old army Supply Special.

Here is a 1914 Star trio with bar awarded to 7468 Pte. H. Murrell, 2 RSR (on star) and L-7468 on the BWM and Victory medals. The L prefix crops up on home county regiment medals amongst others.

The mini ribbon bar with rosette is made of a single piece of material which may not be unusual but is harder to find.

Both T. E. Peacock and H. Murrell survived the war.

This is a 1914/15 trio awarded to M2-103991 Pte. T. Winterton of the ASC, the BWM and Victory are named to M2-103991 Sjt. Winterton.

M2 means he was an electrician.

Here's one trio to a 19625 Pte S.J Wood in the RAMC, later an Acting Corp (is that the same as what used to call 'substanstive' where you had a period of unpaid at proposed rank trial and behave ?)

And his minatures

Hello Marcus,

Substanstive is when you've been granted the rank, acting is a sort of trial period which can just be taken away from you.

Do you have the original boxes for the medals?

Tony

[Marcus H]

Not this set, but another with just the pair in them.

Just like our time then Tony, apart from I wasn't called acting Corp, but sub ........and trust me it's easily lost, not even through a Regimental Entry

Yeah I was naughty :speechless-smiley-004:

Cheers mate,

Marcus

(I'll post the boxed set if you like on another thread)
