Buster Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I got these medals from the same source as the k98 bayonet .They are a great war pair awarded to a Percy Gander, army service corp, his service number is m-297998, he later went on to serve with the police & was awarded the special constabulary long service medal, I take it Percy didn't want the expense of getting ribbon bars made, so made his own with cardboard and little bits on ribbon cut from his medals, the set also came with the badges pictured, & the boxes the decorations came in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon21 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Hi Buster, here's some info on Percy Gander aged 27 when he joined up for duty 27.11.15 at Grove Park, lived at 7 St Pancras Terraces Southern Lewes. Before he joined the army worked for Ballard & Co Brewers Southern Lewes as a Steam Engine Driver, he was Discharged in 1918 after suffering from Bronchial Pneumonia which left him with a weak chest. Here's some documents. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
