Three: Warrant Officer Class 1 E. P. Hughes, 3rd Australian Field Artillery Brigade

1914-15 Star (2363 Cpl., 3/F.A. Bde. A.I.F.); British War Medal 1914-20 (2363 ER-W.O. 1, 3 F.A.B. A.I.F.); Victory Medal 1914-19 (2365 W.O. Cl. 1, 3-F.A.B. A.I.F.), note light difference in service number on the last, together with Australian Commonwealth Military Forces cap badge and a set of old tunic medal ribands, generally good very fine (4) £200-250

Edward Percy Hughes enlisted in August 1914 and was discharged in June 1918. And if the above described tunic medal ribands are an accurate reflection of earlier military service, he was a veteran of the Cape of Good Hope operations and the Boer War, in addition to being the recipient of the Coronation Medal 1902 - well worthy of further research; sold with two old portrait photographs.
