Heatley
« on: Friday 18 July 14 17:35 BST (UK) »
Can anyone claim or help with this gentleman?  As part of an enquiry from a web page Old photos of Bradford this pic has been posted and wondered if anyone can help with identifying the uniform, medals etc.  Any help appreciated.  Many thanks

1st medal possibly Boer War with clasps then  Great War campaign medals and ribbns,he has a 14 or 15 Star with ribbons of British War and Victory Medals...no actual medals so photo maybe before 1921 last medal unknown it May be a peace medal or similar
Shame theres no first name

Edit! Dated 1920 so War and Victory medals hadnt been issued,just the ribbon. :-)
