Here are my WW I groups so far - these are overviews, generally I have heaps of research and documentation on each group. Somehow they ae all in one post but basically in associated order with each different group.

Capt. Parke 20 Bn CEF, for actions in enemy trenches during a battalion scale raid in feb 1917. I have the war diary account.

Excellent groupings there. Have you posted on the their own? As I would love to see them close. Cheers Terry.

Hi Terry,

Stunning groups, great to see them.

I have added another single to my collection, unusually not for one of the Welsh regiments, but the surname was of interest.

British War Medal, Worcester Regiment. 30400 Acting Corporal, L.N. Bond Worcester Reg.

Not seen his mic or any other records yet and it is yet to arrive.

It arrived and I downloaded his MIC from the national archives at Kew.

Interestingly he spent some time with the Chinese Labour Corps, which was fairly commonly done.

I have my Great Grandad Thomas Garners it isn't easy to photo them they are safely in a display case with their original boxes that where sent to him with the medals in with the little sheath for the 2 medals and his name service number and rank are listed around the edge, they were given to me by my grandma (his daughter) and they have never been worn by him.

My modest collection of medals is primarily focused on the Grenadier Guards. These are the only photos I have, and include a 1914 Star & bar trio, and a BWM & VM pair. Also, there is a miniature MC group to Lt. D.H. Riddiford, 1st Battn. Grenadier Guards, that includes a silver engraved photo locket.
I really wanted a trio to an " Old Contemptible".
