Many thanks... Hope you all had a great Christmas.
Vernon's 1914 Star Medal is stamped on the back....
2259
PTE V G. DIXON
1/4 SEA.HIGHRS
So I assume he started his military career as a Private in the Seaforth Highlanders.
His British War Medal and Victory Medal are both engraved on the edge with....
2, LIEUT. V.G.DIXON
So assume he must have had a rapid promotion in the field which was the norm I believe.
No engraving on his Military Cross.
It is rumoured he won his MC bringing back a wounded soldier from nomans land but received terrible wounds in doing so.
Happy New Year
Regards
Tim Dixon
