Orders, Decorations and Medals

General Service 1962, 1 clasp, Northern Ireland (24098414 L. Cpl. M. D. Burbridge, R.E.M.E.), good very fine £300-350

Sold with a letter from Captain T. Lindsay, R.E.M.E., 8th Infantry Brigade, Londonderry, addressed to his widow at Farnham Surrey, dated 8 December 1982 ‘At long last I am pleased to forward the medal which belonged to your late husband. I am to understand that the medal is for your son Darren and if in fact this is correct I would appreciate it if you would pass the medal on to him.’ The letter has been cut in two with the result that one line of the text is missing.
Lance Corporal Burbridge was killed by terrorists in Northern Ireland.
