First World War Medal

Hi, I have a First World War medal, (Great War for civilization) from 1914-1918. When I was a little girl I used to collect all sorts of things. The medal I have was earned by a gentleman called Private ETHERIDGE, Manchester Regiment.  If anyone knows any whereabouts of this family or a member of the family I would love to give this medal back. If anyone can help me with my search or knows this family please get in touch with me.

RE: RE: First World War Medal

Hi, Valerie - what a lovely idea. There were lots of Etheridges in WW1, but in order to pinpoint him and try and get more information, you'll need his name or initials and possibly his service number. Is any of that information on the medal?

Hi Valerie

I run a site dedicated to the Manchester Regiment, we have literally thousands of people trying to find out about their family members who served in the regiment and some who are trying to find their lost medals

I am pleased to say it is now the first place to go for the regiment and if you would like to post the details there you would be most welcome
