Oh dear, how sad, never mind. All his "acting" cronies are saying what a wonderful, charming, good-hearted person he was. Where do they find these people?.

Yes, I havn't had a good look - is that a 1914 Star with clasp rather than a 1914 Star without or a 1914-15 Star?
There are lots of Pathe News videos of inter-world war, WWII, post war British military uniform and insignia interest on you tube. They'd make a really interesting and useful library on this forum. |

I see his medals as 1914 Star with Clasp, BWM & Victory, then an India General Service Medal with unknown Bar, Defence and War Medals, then possibly the 1937 Coronation Medal and finally a Long Service Medal with Bar.
Agree with your comments re the Pathe news as a resource for the Forum, some great uniform detail on show. Simon. |

Private Arthur (Nick) Carter, King's Shropshire Light Infantry. Served from 1901 to 1951. Saw active service in the Boer War and the Great War. Awarded 10 Good Conduct Stripes. According to the Light Infantry website, the most ever awarded in the British Army. After his discharge he lived in a rented room across from the barracks.

Hadn't even got his knees brown. I think there are images showing more good conduct chevrons being worn by old soldiers but in some instances they're wearing more than their length of service entitles them to. |
