Description
A Great War ‘Third Battle of Ypres’ M.M. group of five awarded to Sergeant P. Shannon, Liverpool Regiment Military Medal, G.V.R. (305192 Sjt. P. Shannon. 1/8 L’pool. R.-T.F.); 1914-15 Star (1702 Pte. P. Shannon, L’pool R.); British War and Victory Medals (1702 Pte. P. Shannon. L’pool R.); Territorial Efficiency Medal, G.V.R. (3757204 Pte. P. Shannon. 8 - The King’s R.) generally very fine (5) £400-£500 --- M.M. London Gazette 14 January 1918. Patrick Shannon was born in Dublin in 1886 and attested as a Drummer in the 2nd Battalion, Royal Irish Fusiliers, on 4 July 1900, aged 14. Discharged on 15 October 1912, during which time he had served for 9 years in India, he re-enlisted for service with the 8th (Irish) Battalion, Liverpool Regiment, Territorial Force, on 21 January 1913, and served with the Battalion during the Great War on the Western Front from 21 May 1915. When the battalion was serving as part of 55th (West Lancashire) Division he received a Divisional Commander’s Commendation, ‘for gallant conduct on the 20th September 1917 East of Ypres’; on the latter date the Division were engaged in the Battle of Menin Road Ridge, as part of the Third Battle of Ypres, and it is likely that it was for this action that he was awarded the Military Medal. Transferring to No. 12 Prisoner of War Company, Labour Corps, he was discharged on 24 February 1919; but re-enlisted in the Territorial Army on 3 May 1920, and was finally discharged on 7 April 1927. Sold together with the recipient’s Divisional Commander’s Commendation, dated 13 October 1917; Parchment Certificate of Service; Soldier’s Paybook; Soldier’s Small Book; Certificate of Disembodiment; Certificate of Discharge; Silk ‘Forget Me Not’ Postcard, written to recipient’s sweetheart; and a Newspaper cutting in which the recipient is pictured.
