The medals issued to George Addinall were the Victory Medal, the British War Medal and the 1914/1915 Star. He had two regimental numbers 1356 and 438371.

Info from his Medal Card.

OK..Will sort out info.

There is alot written there about his medical condition, especially his stomach problems.

yes thats the same man thanks

There is a George ( no middle name ) who matches many points.
He was a painter and decorater with a son Harold born 17 March 1903.

Is that your man?

Gwyn

...and again

Sorry..triple posting.

hello again just picking up on this one from feb. could i be so cheeky and ask anyone that is on ancesry to see if ther is any info on this man ,george william addinall ww1 in respect of his army number ,if not its ok but many thanks if you can.

thank you everyone, ive only just switched my computer on from last night ,so i see ive recieved more messages. many thanks again x mgt

Also any replicia medals issued will not be named stamped or a service number on the rim of it ,as is usual with the first time issue ones ,,,,just a plain medal.

If you have a subscription to Ancestry you can see if his service record is there. Unfortunately 60% of army records were burnt in WW2 so you may not find him. Also if your grandfather received an army pension he may be in those records on Ancestry.

thanks again x mgt

I googled and found several sites offering a replacement medal service.

I have never used them so I cannot recommend any of them.

Have a look around and compare prices and, if possible, read reviews.

Good luck!

From MOD Medal FAQs

The Medal Office only issue replacement medals to service veterans or, if deceased, the member of the family who now holds the medals, under certain strict conditions where the loss is completely outside the individual’s control in such instances as burglary, street theft or house fire. Only World War II medals and those issued subsequently can be replaced, provided that the criteria described here are met.

#####The Medal Office is unable to replace medals issued before World War II, such as First World War medals, under any circumstances.######
