Orders, Decorations, Medals and Militaria, to include the Brian Ritchie Collection (Part II)

India General Service 1936-39, 1 clasp, North West Frontier 1936-37 (7011036 Rfm. J. Guerin, R.U. Rif.) slack suspenion claw, edge bruising and light contact marks, otherwise very fine £60-80

The Royal Ulster Rifles appear only to have been employed in the later 1937-39 operations, so presumably Guerin formed part of an advance party or was attached to another unit.

The regiment’s 1st Battalion went on to form part of the 6th Airborne Division, and fought in that capacity in Normandy and at the crossing of the Rhine, but whether Guerin was a member of the Battalion by that stage of the 1939-45 War remains unknown.
