East Lancashire Medal Group to 26560 Pte F Duckworth 1st and 6th Battalions East Lancs
£95.00
An interesting group of items pertaining to 26560 Private Fred Duckworth who served initially with 1st East Lancs on the Western Front where he was wounded 23/7/1917. Upon recovery he was sent to the 6th service battalion E Lancs who were serving in Mesopotamia. The group consists of his British War and Victory medals correctly named to him. His Field Medical Card with photo of him in hospital blues. His wallet this being full of photos of comrades, nurses, pictures of locations I assume are in Mesopotamia, a white metal cigarette case, his wifes WW2 identity card and photo, two bullets in a small cloth bag. There is a handwritten page in the wallet which appears to belong to a MGC soldier so how Fred obtained it is a mystery.
