29322: Pte John H. Naylor, Yorks & Lancs Regiment.

29322: Pte John H. Naylor, Yorks & Lancs Regiment.

This BWM is probably one of the oldest pieces in my collection and was bought with pocket money over 25 years ago! As such, it holds many memories for me and partly got me into medal collecting all that time ago.

It was awarded to a John Naylor of the York and Lancs Regiment for his service during the Great War. John was also entitled to the Victory medal – it’s whereabouts are unknown…

His MIC shows nothing that helps us research John in any way – Sadly no service records survive either. It gives no clues as to where John saw action, either by date or theatre. All we do know is that his war service started after 1916; hence only the entitlement to the BWM and Victory.


Do you have any information about John, or the location of his missing Victory medal?
