Title: WW1 Medals
Post by: jakel on Sunday 04 March 12 23:12 GMT (UK)

I recently found two WW1 medals while rummaging in an old box. Don't know where they came from, definitely not relatives of mine. Someone may know more about them
1 British War Medal in very poor condition. It has no suspension bar, disc only. Named to, 44592 gnr. j. lynch. r.a.
2 Victory Medal No Ribbon, named to. 21095 Cpl. W. E. Green,  L'pool. R.
Maybe some relative might be looking for them.                                                                   Regards, jakel

Who was probably with 14th Battalion Liverpool Regiment-They landed on or around the date on his medal card in Sept 1915(only KLR batt around that date)

First one is 44952 (transposed a number there!) Gunner John Lynch, Royal Field Artillery. Landed at Gallipoli 2 June 1915.
No further details on his MIC, and no service/pension record found.

Thanks guys. Was just wondering if either man survived the war.

Certainly appears they both did.
