Orders, Decorations, Medals and Militaria

Three: Private H. W. Whatmough, Leicestershire Regiment

1914 Star (8802 Pte. H. W. Whatmough. 2/Leic: R.); British War and Victory Medals (8802 Pte. W. H. [sic] Whatmough. Leic. R.); together with a Leicestershire Regiment cap badge, very fine (3) £80-£120

Herbert William Whatmough attested for the Leicestershire Regiment and served with the 2nd Battalion during the Great War on the Western Front from 12 October 1914.

Note: The recipient has two separate Medal Index Cards: one for the 1914 Star only, under the name Herbert W. Whatmough; and another for the British War and Victory Medals, under the name William Herbert Whatmough. As the number is the same it is undoubtedly the same man, although what order his Christian names come in is unconfirmed.
