Description
A Great War trio to Lieutenant Sidney England Charlton, Honourable Artillery Company, 18th London Regiment and Machine Gun Corps: 1914 Star, with good tailor's copy clasp (662 PTE. S.E. CHARLTON. H.A.C.), British War Medal 1914-20 and Victory Medal (LIEUT. S.E. CHARLTON), later mounted on modern ribbons, very fine or better. [3]
Born in Epsom 12/02/1893. Attested for the H.A.C. 18/09/1911 and, being mobilized on the outbreak of war, entered France with the 1st Batallion in September 1914. His battalion was under fire in the period from late September until 27/11/1914; and is seems certain that he was entitled to a clasp for his 1914 Star, though he does not appear to have applied for it officially. He was discharged to a commission in the 3rd/18th Battalion London Regiment (London Irish Rifles) 06/06/1915. Offered with research.
