Pair: Private J. W. Webster, 7th Dragoon Guards

British War and Victory Medals (D/18120 Pte J W Webster 7 D Gds) later officially impressed naming, in named card box of issue with M.O.D. enclosure letter and Registered packet addressed to the recipient in Sutton Coldfield, extremely fine (2) £30-£40

Medal Roll, Medal Index Card and M.O.D. letter all confirm issue of these medals in July 1980, a very late claim, his original pair having been returned under King’s Regulation Para. 1743: ‘Medals which, at the end of 10 years, still remain unclaimed, will be sent to the deputy director of ordnance stores, Royal Dockyard, Woolwich to be broken up.’
