Hi guys,
Here is two my new medals from WW1 period (just common pair BWM/Victory Medal) belonged to K1191 SPO James Combes. Sadley looks like family split the full set because Mr. Combes was entitled to 1914-1915 Star and RN LSGC (1923) medal as well.
Enlisted 26 August 1908, discharged 1928 after fracturing his patella.
He served on HMS Iron Duke for almost all of the Great War, including battle of Jutland where HMS Iron Duke delivered a number of significant shell hits on the German battleship SMS König, at the point when the two main fleets collided.
If you guys have more info about his service, please let me know.
Also in order to make nice display, can someone please recomend a site where I can get 1914-1915 Star and LSGC reproductions?
