[paj1]

Hi Guys
Last weekend i was able to buy a ww1 14-15 trio to a private in the
Northumberland Fusiliers included with the medals was a silver cigarette
case which has on the front
From Lt Col A C H Jones
In Memory Of
Macedonia And France
1915-1918
The soldier served i think with the 2nd Btn
I think he may of been the batman of Lt Col Jones
I have looked online but cannot find any information about Lt Col Jones
Can anyone help with info ?

look for the medal index card for Arthur Cyril Langston Hardman-Jones. He served in France with the 1st Battalion from 13/8/14. He finished WW1 as a Major (Temp Lt Col) and at the time he applied for his WW1 medals his address was shown as Guadaloupe Barracks at Bordon in Hampshire.
His son was killed in action during WW2 as a Commander in the Royal Navy.
Both father and son were mentioned in despatches during their war service.
Lt Col Hardman-Jones died 26/8/1965.

Hope that helps
