Henry Williams South Staffordshire or Ernest Binns Yorkshire
« on: Tuesday 25 August 15 16:13 BST (UK) »
Hello,


I have recently come across 2 WW1 medals and am simply looking for more information on what happened to these two individuals. I have searched some sites with little info.


The 1st medal engraved on the edge - 201293 - SJT. H. Williams. South Staffs R. On the back it says The Great War for Civilisation. 1914 - 1919.


The 2nd medal engraved on the edge - 112687 - CPL. E. Binns. R.E. This medal appears to be silver. I believe he served for W. Yorkshire and was in France at some point.


Anybody out there know if they survived the war? Any distant relatives?


Thank-you,


Cory

You can check for any possible deaths here    www.cwgc.org

MRI cards for both do not show a death in combat

Neither service record has survived - over 60% were burnt during the WW2 blitz

Ok thanks! Did several searches, some came up close but I do not believe its the same people. They may have lived after 1918 after all.

Will keep looking,

Cory
