L-B, I have sent you a PM requesting your article. One of my grandfathers and his brother both had four digit numbers beginning with 2 having joined up on the declaration of war in 1914.
TTN, My grandfather left me his brother's medal set Pip, Sqeak and Wilfred plus the DCM - unfortunately they went missing while on loan to familly member who died suddenly. I regularly visit my great uncle's grave in France, I greatly regretted not having the medals with me when I did so on the 100th anniversary of his death in action.
