Dear All,
this is my first posting on this site - so please bear with me!
I have just received the very generous gift of my great-grandfathers WW1 medals:
Military Medal
British War Medal
Victory Medal
I am intrigued by part of the inscription on the rim of the MM:
29992 Cpl F.W.Ashman. 17Worc R.
Can anyone enlighten me as to the 17??
I know that he was in the 1st Battalion - is the 17 some reference to a smaller group within the Battalion?
Kind regards,
William
