Scarce WW1 TFWM Trio to RAMC.

A scarce Territorial Force War Medal, British War and Victory medal all correctly named to; 2607 Private John Mills of the Royal Army Medical Corps.
John was born in Ashted, Birmingham Warwickshire around 1891, the only son of John and Lilly Mills. Before the war John was employed as an engineer, so it is unusual that he was not scooped up into the royal engineers, but going by his number 2607, he was a territorial before the war started.
I have not had a chance to do much, if any research on this man apart from obtaining a copy of his medal index card, medal roll and 1911 census and these tell me very little, so a very interesting and worthwhile project awaits its new guardian.
The medal are in very good condition, there is some contact marks to the rims of the medals, so John mounted and worn these medals on occasions. Alson with the medal are two portrait photographs of john taken in 1914, and what a dapper chap he looks, so full of pride, I’m sure any phots taken after the war showed a different face.
Aa scarce trio to a long serving territorial, there were only 1,030 TFWM awarded to the OR’s and NCO’s of the RAMC compared to the 66,139 men that were serving in the Corps by December 1915.
