Is this in your collection? If it is! It is a nice set.. Cheers Terry
He would have had to have been an RSM, equivalent to a Warrant officer 2, otherwise it would be a DCM or likely an MM. What is the MBE for? Looks like a Belgian cross of valour at the end. Excellent group, how long have you had it??
Yes, medals group in my collection
At the end of bar - russian St. George cross 4th class
Very nice indeed.. I didn't think they award the MC to other ranks ? Then in 1993 it all changed away with Medals & they kept the Crosses.. So I presume he was a Captain in the Somme??.. But still a very nice medal bar & thanks for showing... Cheers Terry.
Very nice group. As stated above, the MC must have been awarded when he was an officer. Is that a Mention in Despatches oakleaf as well on it, very cool
Regards,
Jerry
Whatever its just an opinion.
That is on the Victory Medal Jerry.. a MID...This bloke has got some balls lol..Now days you would be lucky too win the MID & a MC..& still be breathing...Cheers Terry.
I'm just a tad confused then because they "I think didn't award MCs to other ranks then" & to get from Sergeant to Captain in 2 years is going some! not impossible but very quick promotion!!...Cheers Terry.
