World War One / Looking for WW1 medals PTE A E Gomersal
« on: Friday 27 January 12 12:51 GMT (UK) »
Hi Im looking for 2 of my great uncles WW1 medals
200701 PTE Albert Edward Gomersall
I have the British War medal but I am trying to find his 1914-1915 star and also the victory medal.
Also if possible I would love to locate the 'Death Penny'
I know its probably an impossible task but they were last seen in Halifax, West Yorkshire. Any help or if anyone out there has them I would love for them to come home.
My great uncle was Killed in Action on 3 Sep 1916 at the Somme and has no known grave but is comemorated at Thiepval. I traced him in 2009 and visited Thiepval on 11/11/09 in full service dress (as I am an Officer in the Army Cadet Force) where I layed a white rose in his honour. I hope to return on Remembance Sunday in 2016 (marking the 100 years) again in Service dress but hopefully wearing his medals.
So any help to track them down would be greatly appreciated.
