Percy joined the army on the outbreak of WWI and was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant in 13th Reserve Regiment of Cavalry.

He first entered the conflict in France on September 18th 1915. Records show that he was discharged from the army for medical reasons in 1919, with the reason stated as ‘heart trouble’. The 1939 census states that he was a Steam Laundry Proprietor, but also a Special Constable with Warwickshire Constabulary, which explains the award of the Special Constabulary Medal. Condition: generally good. Some age related toning to the medals, and minor signs of polishing. The group is swing mounted on a bar for wear, using the original ribbons.
Lot 118
An unusual, and likely very scarce, WW1 era cotton armband for the 7th Battalion East Yorkshire Regiment - circa 1914. The armband is very cheaply produced, using a coarse off white cotton, with screen printed details. Unjoined at the ends, but a safety pin has been sewn into place to secure it to clothing. It’s likely that the armband was issued under the same principle as the better known Derby Scheme Armband, which was issued to new recruits to show they’d enlisted for service. Such was the chronic shortage of uniforms, a brassard was all the army authorities could muster in the early months of the conflict. Band width: 6.5cm x length 40cm. Together with a WW1 Princess Mary tin (minus all original contents), and a later WW2 era WO2 leather rank wrist strap. 3 items. Condition: some service and age related wear. The armband has some age foxing, and the printed text has faded, but is quite readable. The Princess Mary tin is generally good, with just a small dent to the underside, and some ingrained old polish to the lid. The WO2 leather strap remains supple, and badge is firmly attached.
Lot 63
WW1 Army Chaplain’s cap and collar insignia, as worn by Rev. William Atkinson Kendall (1892-1967). To include: a nickel cap badge, with the usual cross pattée design, topped by the Kings crown, and 2 blade fittings to the reverse. Traces of blackening in places. And, a matched pair of Chaplain’s collar badges, in blackened brass, with 2 lugs to the reverse and split pin fittings (both marked J.R.Gaunt, London). Additionally there is a Repton School Junior Training Corps cap badge with slider, a Church of England Society medallion, a reproduction WW1 Iron Cross, scouting and guide badges / neckerchief slides, plus other badges. Notes: according to published records, William Atkinson Kendall served in France from May 1917 through to December 1917, but his medal index car gives a date of entry to the war as September 1918. His ranks are described as Chaplain and Reverend, and he is entitled to the British War Medal, and the Victory Medal. The photographs in the picture pack are scans from originals, and are of Rev.Kendall, but originals are not included in the lot. He can be seen wearing the badges offered in the lot. Condition: generally good to most. Normal age service wear to the Chaplain badges, with the cap badge having a little verdigris to the back. The Girl Guide badge has a little verdigris to the front.
Lot 2
A good Burma War, Boer War, WW1 medal group, awarded to 2133 Pte John Jones of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. To include: the I854 India General Service Medal with clasp for Hazara 1891, the Queen’s South Africa Medal with clasps for Tugela Heights and the Relief of Ladysmith, and the WW1 1915 Star Trio. Notes: The clasp for Hazara 1891 is confirmed on the IGS roll, with the dates ‘12th March 91 - 16th May 91’ noted, which corresponds with the dates of the Black Mountain Expedition for which this clasp was awarded. Likewise, the clasps for the QSA are also confirmed on the roll, but while his service number of 2133 is identical, his first name initial is listed as ‘A’. More confusion with his name occurs on the medal index card for his WW1 service, with him now being referred to as ‘J.A.Jones’ John would serve his time in the Army Service Corps, using the service number DM2-097210, with his disembarking for service in France on October 4th 1915. He would be discharged on November 23rd 1917 under paragraph 392 King’s Regulations (no longer physically fit for service). His MIC also notes the entitlement to the Silver War Badge, almost certainly for the reason above. The IGS is named in running script, as is correct, with the QSA and WW1 trio having the usual impressed naming. All 5 medals are swing mounted on a bar for wear using the original ribbons, albeit with the British War Medal and Victory having their ribbons transposed. The medals have always been with the family, and have not previously been offered for sale. Condition: generally good. Toning to the medals, and some minor signs of polishing. Tight suspension to the QSA.
