Thomas Reighton Jones was initially enlisted into the 19th Bn Lancashire Fusiliers. His Medal Index Card (MIC) records that he was first commissioned into the South Wales Borderers in June 1918 and then transferred into the Chinese Labour Corps. He entered France and Flanders in September 1918. He applied for his medals in 1920 and was entitled to a WWI 'pair' - British War Medal and Victory Med The address he gave for correspondence was Manitoba, Canada. In 1972 Bertha, his widow, applied to the Ministry of Defence for a widow's pension. . . . and, as a final note, officers did not get a Service number until post-WWI. Best Mike -

To make the identification I used primarily "Bayonets of the World, The Complete Edition" by Paul Kiesling (p. 375) and ""Bayonets From Janzen's Notebook" by Jerry L. Janzen (p. 147.) The standard Army pattern had two rivets securing the grips. The Navy version used a bolt and washer to secure the grips; This arrangement allowed disassembly for cleaning. For pictures of both versions, try Dennis Ottobre's site "www.ebayonets.com." https://www.ebayonet.com/bayonetsn_s.htm That is a nice bayonet. J.T. -

Thanks Ski and J.T. for the input. The blade is 14 inches and the overall length is about 18.75. The mark you saw on the pommel is the same crown with a T. The only marks I see on the scabbard is a serial number on the piece of metal a strap maybe goes through. Where did you find your info J.T.? every picture I saw of a Dutch one seemed to have 2 rivets or screws holding the grips on. Thanks Mark -
