Hi
Happy New Year!
Yesterday I brought a rather interesting British War Medal and Victory Medal named to 35332 Pte G F Hester East Kent Regiment, on Ebay.
After doing some research on Ancestry, it turns out that this gentleman joined the Rifle Brigade in 1916 saying he was born in 1897, but it was soon realized that he was only 16 (born 1900). So obviously he was discharged and when he reached the legal recruitment age, he re-joined the army but with a different regiment. I have attached his files etc, if any one is interested.
Many Thanks
Cameron
