| 1399301 | 2015-04-25 01:12:00 | Here is a pic of husband's Dad's WW1 War medal. He was in the horse infantry London Regiment and fought at the Somme. He was wounded twice, passed away in 1975, 1 year after my son was born. I gave it to my son today. LL Sorry it's upside down, don't know how to rotate it while editing. |

| 1399304 | 2015-04-25 03:06:00 | Thanks Bobh, I have seen that site before when researching for genealogy. It is most informative, and yes, the medal I posted is the British one, inscribed on the outer edge are details of the person. Name, Regiment, etc. LL |

Rotated around so the dates reads right not mirrored :p 6416 I gave it to my son today. Tell him he has to keep it in the family, so it can be passed on for generations to come. :) |
