Hi

Just thought it was about time i joined the forum, i found the main site most interesting for quite a while now.

My interest is ww1 my uncle who served in the RFA came from Worcester as did most of my family, i also have another uncle and a second cousin who served.

I am interested in any Stintons who served, so if anyone as information it would be much appreciated.

I see there was a Stinton who won the MM in 1919 I would be interested to know whereabouts in Worcester he lived and how he came by his MM. He served in a Worcester regiment.

Best wishes Dennis.

Hi Dennis,

There were 2 Stinton's:

Corporal George W. Stinton (50730) who was awarded the Military Medal, which you have found on the website. Also there was a Captain Tom Stinton who did not enter the theatre of war until 16th February 1917, he was from Loughborough, Lincs. He was awarded the Italian Bronze Medal for Valour (details are listed in the FOREIGN MEDALS section of the website). At the end of the war he was with the 8th Battalion Worcestershire Regiment.

Regards,

Louis
