Corporal William E. Cutler & Edward H. CutlerThis photograph shows my grandfather Corporal William Edward Cutler (1st Battalion, Middlesex Regiment, L-16494 & L-8234) on the left of his brother Edward Henry Cutler (2nd Battalion, Middlesex regiment, L-12508). My grandfather is also listed elsewhere on this site as Edward W. Cutler, which is wrong. He survived the great war but his brother did not.

William Edward Cutler's medals in reverseThis shot shows the reverse sides of WEC's "Pip, Squeak & Wilfred". Note that his initials are misplaced. The medals are in the National Army Museum.Contributed by:

WEC's St. Stanislaus RibbonThis shot shows a ribbon from one of the St. Stanislaus decorations that was amongst WEC's WW1 Medals paraphernalia. I believe he picked it up when he was with the Middlesex Regiment in Siberia towards the end or just after the end of the great war. There might also have been a medal associated with it, which would not have been gazetted by British authorities, but which is now no longer in evidence.Contributed by:

Ashantee War Medal of WEC's fatherThe shot shows the obverse side of The Ashantee War Medal that was given to WEC's father (William Edward Cutler, the 1st) for work as a sick berth attendant on HMS Himalaya in 1874; after this military adventure, WEC senior joined the 77th regiment of foot, which became the Middlesex Regiment.Contributed by:
