Three: Gunner G. Wayte, Royal Garrison Artillery

British War Medal 1914-20 (34599 Gnr. G. Wayte. R.A.); India General Service 1908-35, 1 clasp, Afghanistan N.W.F. 1919 (34599 Gnr. G. Wayte R.G.A.) minor official correction; Army L.S. & G.C., G.V.R., 1st issue (34599 Gnr: G. Wayte. R.G.A.) nearly very fine and better (3) £80-£100

George Wayte served overseas during the Great War from 27 November 1914, although his M.I.C. fails to mention the theatre of operation, adding ‘V.M. only’ and indicating the issue of a 1914-15 Star - likely administrative confusion. His claims were submitted in April 1919 by the Officer Commanding No.1 Mountain Battery, Royal Garrison Artillery, the India Medal roll further confirming entitlement to the India General Service Medal and clasp for service during the Third Afghan War. Wayte was discharged on 26 August 1920.
