A 100 Year Old Military Trunk | Baldwins Coins

The inscription on the medal should read: 2nd Canadian Mounted Rifles Brigade. He did fall sick on active when sent to France and perhaps that why his family were eligible for the Canadian War Cross if his death could be attributed to that sickness post war.

Fascinating history and collection of medals. Well done on reaching 1000 subscribers.

Wonderful stuff and who better to open that box other than Mark whose expertise shines through in his professional assessment. I was expecting to see a Victoria Cross but then that would have been asking a little too much! The paperwork and photographic albums from the Great War all add enormous history value as well as monetary value to this amazing find. Martin Coin and Medal Dealer.

I'm wondering if he had died in action and then resuscitated and that's why he got the memorial cross...
