WW1 Medal Pair Etc to Lacey Warwickshire Yeomanry.
A scarce WW1 British war and victory medal correctly named to H/67683 Private Frederick George Lacey of the Warwickshire Yeomanry.
Frederick Lacey was born around 1900 in Welton Northamptonshire. He probably didn’t see action until later in the war being transferred to the 14th Battalion Royal Warwickshire regiment (1st Birmingham pals) and later to the 1st / 5th Devon regiment and being part of some of the most ferocious fighting of the war during 1918, finishing the war in Germany, where it formed part of the British Army of the Rhine.
Frederick was discharged due to sickness on 13th February 1919, being entitled to the WW1 pair and the silver war badge.
His medals come with part of the original box and envelope of issue, original Silver War Badge issue slip, what is believed to be his original Warwickshire Yeomanry cap badge and various research including copies of his medal index card, SWB list, pension card and census details.
An interesting pair that would benefit from further research.
