Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 17 September , 2004 Share Posted 17 September , 2004 The name of this soldier rings a bell for some reason that escapes me at the moment - do you have his medals or know where they are? Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy 1 Posted 17 September , 2004 Author Share Posted 17 September , 2004 thanks for the reply ian. no i don't have his medals or know where they are. any idea why his name rings a bell. he did survive the war if that helps rgds andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Matthews Posted 17 September , 2004 Share Posted 17 September , 2004 ok ED i've got a copy of his mic but its in pdf which is to big to attach. if you or anybody can tell me how to do it i will send it. Andy I'm not sure to be honest. Why don't you transcribe the details from the card into a message and post? As a matter of interest, 2/4th Bn. Queen's served at Gallipoli, Egypt, Palestine and finally to France in June 1918. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambo Posted 17 September , 2004 Share Posted 17 September , 2004 Hi Andy I came across your posting regarding the 2/4 th Queens under units and formations and as I posted there, I have a copy of the unit's history published in 1931 if you need more details of their movements Regards Hambo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambo Posted 17 September , 2004 Share Posted 17 September , 2004 Fraid not, but the narrative is quite detailed so if you want me to transcribe any particular part of it just let me know. You know where to find it if you need it! All the best Hambo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy 1 Posted 18 September , 2004 Author Share Posted 18 September , 2004 for the attention of ian bowbrick. any ideas why this soldiers name rung a bell yet ian. thanks andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 19 September , 2004 Share Posted 19 September , 2004 Andy, To be honest I don't know yet! I have a catalogue of every single medal I have ever sold and it could be that at sometime in the last 22 years that I have sold a medal or pair named to this soldier or have seen one or a pair for sale. If something comes up I will mail you off line. But please bear with me. Cheers - Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy 1 Posted 19 September , 2004 Author Share Posted 19 September , 2004 ok ian thanks for the reply,didn't mean to rush you but when i saw your message i was wondering why my great uncle's name rang a bell with you. regards andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
