A 1914/14 trio to 13696 to Pte. Frederick Jones. Worcestershire Regiment

A 1914/14 trio to 13696 to Pte. Frederick Jones. Worcestershire Regiment. Jones was a member of the 9^th Battalion. As indicated on his medal card he is entitled to the trio, landing in Gallipoli on the 4^th July 1915. Jones was entitled to the silver wound badge. With the medals comes his original discharge paper, it shows that he enlisted in Birmingham on the 10^th of August 1914. He was discharged after serving with the colours for 1 year and 317 days (June 12^th 1916) due to being no longer physically fit for war service. The discharge paper notes a wound to the right leg and a scar of a healed wound on chest. Possibly the leg wound was his seconded wounding. The first could have been sustained in Gallipoli.

 At the time of his discharge he was 31years and 10 months old, he stood at 5 foot 6” with light blue eyes and light brown hair.

 The group also come with a small card document from WW2 which shows Jones became a member of the voluntary fire fighting party. The document is dated may 6^th 1941. The documents are contained in his civil work book wallet, the work book has been lost to time sadly. A nice group worthy of extra research
