Medals of Pte. Richard Marsh 9078, 2nd Battalion Worcs.
Posted: Tue Jan 08, 2008 4:21 pmI am seeking, please the whereabouts of my grandfather's medals, he is as named above. He was Killed in Action in 1914, obviously he never saw the medals, nor did my mum, who was his only child. I would like them back in the family and would of course pay the going rate. If that is not possible, then just to know where they are would be nice. He was awarded a 1914 Star Trio.
My G/Father joined the Worcesters in 1905, when he was 18years old. He left the Regulars in 1912 and went into the Reserves. He then got work in Chatham Dockyard. He married in February 1913 and my mother was born in November 1913, so I rekon he had a good honeymoon ! All was going well for him, until August 1914 when he was Mobilised. He was dead within a few months.
