Ridley C Shacklady T

[B1]

I found Sinclair Robinson's information on the National Archives site I happened across.  It mentioned Ridley C Shacklady T and wondered what it was or looked like.   While in England last week, my DH's uncle showed me a plaque that had Sinclair's name on it that was in his possesion.  Is this the same thing or does Sinclair have another medal that was awarded him? 

Thanks

Hi,
I'm confused what you're asking!
You've found some information on a chap called Sinclair Robinson. Is this WW1 we're talking about? A medal card perhaps? Or something else?

Ridley C Shacklady T looks totally meaningless unless it's two further names: C Ridley & T Shacklady. Any chance you can post an image of the original document you're referring to? Then we might be able to sort it out.

The plaque you mention with his name on it, does it look like this:

If so, it's a memorial plaque issued to next of kin of those who died. It's not a medal as such.

Sinclair Robinson is my DH's great uncle.  DH's grandfather, William Stewart Robinson and Sinclair both served in WW1.  Sinclair was killed as mentioned above.  And yes, that's the plaque DH's uncle has.  It's still in it's orginal wrapping with some other documents.  DH's uncle very kindly let me take photos of some of Sinclair's things. 

As William Stewart Robinson is the only surviving son of 4, finding family has proved very difficult as he too has passed. I had come across an UK archives site by a google search and found the medal card.  I didn't see a medal with the paperwork, plaque and the letters written between the two brothers.

I'm confused some on where Sinclair actually died.  One site says Gallipoli and another says France and Flanders.  I'm not familiar enough with the battles of WW1 and where Sinclair served.

Thank you for letting me know it's a death penny that was given to next of kin.

you're right, SDGW says france and flanders, CWGC says gallipoli

having checked where the 1st Batt Royal Inniskilling fusiliers where in 1915, I would say CWGC site is correct and he died at Gallipoli
