help with uniform Please

[miskimmin]

Did you see the light bulb go on?

He was a territorial and was mobilised in 1940. (hence he doesn't appear in the seniority roles!!) <slaps forhead for being stupid!>

The T is territorial army, which means he could keep being a miner. A TA long service medal and perhaps a coronation medal would account for the medals.

hope this all helps

Oh and another thought...

Why wasn't he conscripted in 1917??? it was because he was a miner, it was a reserved occupation (I think??)

Hi Iain

Thank you so much for the details. I'm glad you know what you are doing, I never would have spotted he was in the TA.

On the Miskimmin theme we are distant cousins. Your g-grandpa Samuel was my g-grandma Ellen Jane Miskimmins nephew. Another link in the chain. If you send me a personel message through the list I will send all the details I have on Samuel.

Regards Ddee
