Thanks all for your comments

I do have two unofficial medals.

5th Army: Medal of the Entrance of Allied Armies in Naples 1st Oct 45

8th Army: Medal of Entrance of British Army in Italy 10 Jul 1943

 l'm thinking the ribbon could of gone with one of these.

Hi.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what Medal goes with this ribbon. I've searched the Web and can't find anything. I'm puzzled.

Hi! Can anyone help with this uniform please? WW1... The shape of cap badge may be of a clue. Would be nice to establish the regiment. Any expertise knowledge shared would be gratefully received.

Is there any mention of Mildenhall for this man?

The Roll of honour board is in our local church. It contains names of around 450 men from the parish who served. Not all died. I suspect Simeon survived the war. Although, l cannot seem to find any connect to the town or parish with that name.

Many thanks for having a look. Yes - A real mystery. The only Offord family l have found is a Henry Offord in the 1911 who was a Police Constable. Although, no children have the name Simeon. Maybe the 1921 Census may tell more. Who he is he survived the war because all those on our war Memorial have a record apart from a J Walker. His record has not yet been found. There seems to be a few where the names were played loosely with. Hopefully one day something will come to light with Simeon.

Hi On our local WW1 Roll of Honour Board in Mildenhall, Suffolk we have what looks like a Simeon Offord listed. I cannot find anything on him via Ancestry or FindMyPast. I was wondering if someone can beat me to it.

Many thanks

Hi Ian... I was asked about the photo by a lady who had it in her pocession and was trying to find out who it was. I have little Miltary knowledge. That said l thought by posting it on this forum it could narrow down the search by finding the rank and regiment. I suspected he may of been an officer. Although, l have little knowledge on uniform etc and was hoping someone maybe able to tell me more such as yourself. Thank you for your thoughts, it sounds rather puzzling. Unfortunately, l don't have anymore information of which l can give.
