pvon Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share #2 Posted January 15, 2019 Hard to get edge of medal! PTE C. Bellwood Durn. L.I above his name is number 45084 Link to comment
Allan H. Posted January 15, 2019 Share #4 Posted January 15, 2019 Those are a nice medal pair and it is nice to see them in the original shipping box. Believe it or not, the British medal shipping boxes are much more common than the US WWI Victory medal boxes. Your soldier was a member of the Durham Light Infantry. You can google the regiment to learn more about their service in the Great War. Thank you for sharing your find. Allan Link to comment
teamski Posted January 15, 2019 Share #5 Posted January 15, 2019 Always nice to have the original boxes! An nice pairing for sure! Medals were sent out starting around 1921 or so IIRC. -Ski Link to comment

teamski Posted January 15, 2019 Share #7 Posted January 15, 2019 Here is his Medal Roll entry. You now know that he was with both the 11th DLI and 2nd DLI battalions. I used to pay researchers back in the day to find this stuff, hehehehehe...... -Ski Link to comment
