The medals of Gunner Edward PerryA photograph the medals of Edward Perry. These are held by a cousin of mine, loaning them to me to allow this picture. The ribbons are original, they came to me with the ribbons very dirty and on the wrong medals and, I am told in a tobacco tin (not pictured) that he carried during the war.Contributed by:

Certificate of DeathA copy of Edwards' Certificate of Death showing that there may be war related issues as it was family knowledge he suffered the effects of being gassed during war service. Together with having the occupation as a moulder in an iron foundry, before and after service, this would have contributed to a relatively early death.Contributed by:
